In reply to Is Provigil Ritalin far too much stimulation?, posted by qbsbrown on January 26, 2008, at 9:19:26
I have been taking Concerta (long-acting Ritalin) for a year and Provigil for 1 1/2 years and they have been life-savers. I had been so tired, I had been driving with one eye open before the Provigil. I added the Concerta, because although I was more awake, my quality of life was impacted by the extreme fatigue. I was just barely going to work and doing little else--it was even impacting my marriage. My husband felt like he had lost me. The Concerta has given me back my life (I know this might sound like an advertisement!). I now have the energy to do the dishes and go out and have fun on the weekends. I'm still not feeling "normal", but things are so much better, I am grateful.I don't get hypomanic at all or wired; they simply make me feel more like myself.
I strongly recommend the combination!
