cylert, provigil & dex

Posted by heidi on July 01, 2001 at 07:02:59:

On cylert for 2 yrs: Extremely speedy feeling, huge appetite suppressant. (I lost 30 pounds, had dialated pupils, problems with obcessive compulsive behavior, little scabs all over my forhead from picking, volitile emotional out busts..etc..) .
On Provigil for 2yrs: I felt emotionally suppressed, stagnant, no drive to do anything, total loss of sex drive, exhausted in the evenings like comming down with a fever -totally fatigued, confusion and memory loss, and a general blocked suffocated feeling in my body that is difficult to explain, gained a little weight. It also didnt keep me awake enough. Some of the symptoms attributed to the medication subsided after 2 months, the excessive dry mouth went away, as did the hot flashes for the most part.
I went off medication for 3 weeks before starting Dex. I felt better after a day on not being on Provigil. And now feel clean and clear.
Ive only been on Dexadrine for 2 weeks and am taking very small dosages to ease into it an find the right amount. So far I feel more normal than ever! Only the most mild speediness, very subtle. Im awake, I feel clean and clear. It isnt at this level supressing my appetite and Im not dropping weight. (of course I was secretely hoping to, but it probably would level out again anyway). Cylert made me sickend by food, I literally could not eat. I actually think my memory is recovering! (weird) and no confussion.
So it goes......
