I've been taking both Provigil (love how it makes me feel) and Effexor. But I think either one or both is giving me terrible bladder/urinary problems. My bladder downright hurts! As much as I love the Provigil, I think it takes me a long time to urinate.
Does anyone know if it is the Provigil or Effexor or both?
I'm exhausted today without Provigil.

This is a relatively common complaint about Effexor, almost certainly due to its effects on NE reuptake. Provigil has a different kind of mechanism that I would think would be far less likely to cause these sorts of problems.Todd

Yesterday, I took my first dose of Provigil.
This morning I had urinary problem, which I didn't have until today.I take Lexapro which never caused me this.
May Provigil increase the AD urinary problem side effect ? Let's remember that Provigil mecanisms in the brain are unknowns (yet theorical) and controversial.
If urinary problem become to much of a problem, you may ask you doctor about Bethanechol.
Have a nice day.
