Greeting Nana and Welcome,

My pdoc put me on Wellbutrin along with the Cymbalta that I already took. I have excessive daytime sleepiness (Chronic Fatigue). I have anxiety disorder, too. At the time, I was feeling alot of stress and my anxiety went through the roof. He said that the combination of the antidepressants could be adding to the anxiety but did not mention the Provigil I take. He had me stop the Wellbutrin which I think was giving me more energy.

Anyway, I find that I have really no relief from fatique with Provigil. He has me taking a triple dose and it still doesn't work.

I think that you need to be on a different stimulant, especially as you are experiencing side effects.

Can you take Ritalin or one of the Ritalin containing meds? I bet that one of those would work better for you but Ritalin can cause stomach distress.

Concerta with Ritalin really helped me in the past and helped me focus and concentrate at work (ADD). Maybe your pdoc will give one of the Ritalin containing meds, specifically the extended release forms a try.

Take Care,
Peacemaker (Sherri)
