Hi,
I've been around reading for a while but this is my first post. I have been diagnosed as schizo-affective and had my last brief psychotic episode almost two years ago. At the moment I am still suffering from negative symptoms, esp. social withdrawal, anhedonia and depression. I am currently on Abilify, 10mg. Recently, I have added 100mg of Provigil to help with daytime sleepiness and motivation. I have found this to be a good combo as I am also benefiting from the moderate improvement in mood from the Provigil.
My pdoc however, is having second thoughts about the Provigil. He is afraid that it increases the likelyhood of me becoming psychotic again. Is this fear warranted? I have not found any information on modafinil and psychosis except for one report of a healthy person suffering an episode after a 600mg dose. Any thoughts?Thanks
Olaf
