I was reading about his drug and was wondering if anyone here had experience with it . I suffer from Anxiety and depression, currently I take Paxil (trying to wean off of it) and Klonopin. I have a major problem with derealization and thought this drug may help. ANy advice?
I also posted on the depression board becuase I think this drug is used more commonly for depression and things like chronic fatigue.
I just want to know if it makes you jittery, that I cannot handle. However I would love to feel focused and less down.

Same thing as Provigil. It's labeled as a "mood enhancing" drug that is prescribed for narcalepsy...but is also prescribed off label for depression and fatigue associated with anxiety meds, MS, Chronic fatigue, etc. I've also thought of asking my doc for a RX, because of the fatigue I have from kpin and paxil. But, it's hard to get the insurance companies to approve it and it's expensive.

I'm very interested in hearing results...I have read a couple on remedy finder and tehy seem to be good experiences, I'm just not sure how it is with anxiety, if it would make you jittery. Yes I hear it is expensive.

I take Provigil b/c I work nights, and fall asleep at inappropriate times. It does not make me feel in the slightest jittery or wired, but I don't have an anxiety problem. If you are very sensitive to meds, you might feel uncomfortably "jittery". If you want to try it, start at the lowest possible dose and see how you do.
