My impression is that the Provigil wears off before nighttime comes, so it doesn't seem to affect my sleep. I sometimes take Ativan at night, but never anything like that during the day, so I don't know how that interacts. I don't take Klonopin.
I don't know about Provigil and anxiety. I have more anxiety now than I did a year and a half ago, before I started the Provigil. But my life is very different now from how it was then, so it is hard to say if the anxiety is drug induced or environment induced. I had always assumed that it was the environment (but the timing is such that it *could* have increased my anxiety... hmmmm).
At the time I started Strattera and Provigil I would get my daughter off to school and then go back to bed. Once I started these two meds (which I took just before my nap), my naps would last exactly 90 minutes. So I know that they were helping me be alert.
