I replied in detail to a posting from Bev...much of your ideas are resounded in her remarks and my reply. Yes, there is certainly something to all this hormone stuff which I agree, must have been somewhat masked by the high of the Ritilin. I would get the fatigue, but not the depression. The Provigil doesn't act on the central nervous system, so isn't masking reality. He gave me imiprimin to take at night and suggested a boost of Ritilin (5mg only) at 2:00 p.m. This has worked for the past two days and I don't feel depressed. Again, my response to Bev gives more detail about my doc's thoughts on this.

I remember when I started Ritilin, it was trying at first...trying to find just the right combination, timing, etc. So, I'll be patient with the Provigil, but certainly was not willing to go more than three days with the chronic crying. I'm glad I can go to my doctor and get seen right away when things go wacky! Good luck to you on your journey with Provigil. I really like the calmness that I have now...no zooms up and down like with the Ritilin. I do feel myself coming down off the Ritilin in the evening which is kind of tiring - but its not too bad as I am at home and not at work.
