Common Questions and Answers about Provigil and dopamine
provigil
I dont know if this is accurate or not, but I thought it should be shared. I just read this in the "Health" Section of Foxnews.com I have heard a lot of really good things about Provigil, although I've never used it. It was recommended to me many times though. Just some food for thought. Seems EVERYTHING comes with its own set of dangers attached.
Being that works on serotonin, Celexa works on serotonin and Provigil works on serotonin,dopamine, GABA etc. it seems to me your serotonin is being on the reuptake too much.
Adding Wellbutrin which has norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors would help you in two ways, one with pain and two with energy from dopamine. Taking the regular and not the XR form would allow you to sleep easier at night as the drug tapers down.
i know a person who has ms and cannot get out of bed unless she takes this provigil. it is not suppose to be addicting, its for energy. my friend is not into other medications only having to take this meds for energy. so it should not be something you could abbuse if u r taking as directed.
Amphetamines are directly affecting your dopamine and noradrenaline levels and those effects are quite easy to see during even your first day using the drug.
The problem is directly related to your Xanax and Adderall combination. I will keep it very simple here but they basically cancels each others out.
I have a recent diagnosis but none of the meds help much. Cpap helps me to wake up in morn even tho I don't have sleep apnea (scored 3). I feel more like I can't move. I will get sleep attacks if I don't take provigil but that's all that drug does for me (keeps me awake for the most part but no energy to move).
If you're low on glycine and taurine, which help the body make the neurotransmitters you're low on, you need to check the quality of the protein you're eating. Glycine and taurine are amino acids, and along with tyrosine and phenalynine and tryptophan manufacture the neurotransmitters that regulate mood. I would look to your diet and make sure you're eating sufficient protein.
Something interesting happened recently that both illustrates this and makes me think dopamine may have something to do with it.
First, let me make it clear that I am not a druggie. I've never taken an illegal, recreational drug in my life, not even pot (and I was in high school in the 1980s!) On a couple of occasions, however, I have taken peyote with Native Americans. The reasons for that are another story. The peyote church I attended was in Arizona, several hundred miles from my home.
I have been diagnosed as Bipolar NOS since 2001. Since then, I have been treated with over 24 different medications and combinations of those meds. I received sober living home treatment in 2004 and have been clean and sober since then. I then received inpatient treatment for Bulimia in 2008 and have been in remission from purging (though still restrict and overeat sometimes) since then.
Thanks Six --- Hey, I had an idea that may help you with the PAWS. I found a drug that can be prescribed here in the U.S. by your doctor. It is available over the counter in most other countries -- Provigil. It is rather expensive but it works very well and is not addictive - You can take up to 500 mg per day -- It enhances Dopamine production in the brain and gives a 'non caffeine' type of boost -- more energy.
if you're getting low in dopamine, a lot of folks try using the precursor nutrients, such as tyrosine, or phenylalanine DL. It's found in chicken, eggs, milk and cottage cheese.
Tyrosine converts into leva dopa, and you could try mucuna pruriens for that, but dosage is sketchy on each brand.
L-dopa is the last stop on the train before dopamine, cuz from what I understand, you can't "take dopamine". You give your body the nutrient and it has to make the stuff.
I am without a job still collecting long term disability and continue to feel lethargic and depressed. I helped my friend move and have been trying to work to get my energy up, but I can hardly get out of bed and even though I have been trying to get out and do things it has not been getting any better. Could this be from actual depression from what is going on in my life or is this still withdrawals from the pills?
Why do u target dopamine? just curious..choline is a supp for dopamine shortages in the system...
