I'm on day two of Nuvigil and it makes me a little racy and irritable. We're talking 50 mgs day one and 25 mgs today....baby doses!
I've been wondering how it mixes with Brintellix, which I've combined in the past with vyvanse and gotten good response. I figure better a non-stimulant than vyvanse, right?
Well, after popping 5mgs of Brintellix I felt much worse...headachey, congested, and with a worse cardiovascular feeling than before. I was seeing the two grouped together in terms of modes of action so maybe it's a bad idea.
Anyway I'm kinda shocked how stimulated I feel on it at such a low dose! Similar reactions? thoughts?
I also take celexa 10mgs and lamictal 150mgs...maybe .25 mgs Klonopin/day

i take nuvigil, it's not like vyvanse or adderall......those are more psychostimulants in increasing dopamine, armodrafil is more just like waking you up, not like caffeine but it just promotes wakefulness......adderall or vyvanse is more of speed wake up.....

Armodafinil is an indirect dopamine receptor agonis; it binds in vitro to the dopamine transporter and inhibits dopamine reuptake. What this means is there shoul be no conflict between brintallix and nuvigal.
