Provigil

I just got prescribed Provigil it is an amphetamine that keeps me awake 12 to 15 hours a day because all my meds are downers and last 12 hours. asked my psychiatrist how could I live if I am sleepy all the time and after trying to take my meds at night and still sleepy at night she gave me Provigil. nly problem is that it just wakes me up for 15 hours which is a lot better than sleepyiness all day but my insurance won't cover it because I don't have sleep apnea. Dammit. I have to pay $250 for a months supply. I payed for 7 pills just to see if it was worth the bother and it is so I am going to pay for it. My complaint is that insurance will cover a bunch of downers but won't let me wake up during the day.

My Father Died June 11th, 2009

It hurts but I am okay. I can hear him talk to me sometimes; he is laughing. Now I know he isn't in any pain. He had a heart attack at the age of 55 years old. I love you, Daddy, goodbye.

Effexor- instead of Paxil CR

I have been on a small dosage of Effexor for depression and I have noticed the difference. I still cry and am depressed but I am not as suicidal. Paxil CR made me gain weight...104 lbs. no matter what I did I could not lose the weight. I was up to 254 lbs. I have been off Paxil CR for 6 weeks and the last two months I have lost 14 lbs. I'm not hungry, I'm not snacking. And I eat once a day. I still eat a little ice cream in the morning and drink about 3 glasses of Coke and 2 glasses of sweet tea a day. I ddrink something all day long so I can keep my belly filled. And when drinking caffeinated drinks they make you PEEE ALOT. So it runs through you and you are always filled up. I have about two pieces of pizza one day and beans the next and speghetti with meat in the sauce the next day. Normal food...just not alot...a little. Keep the drink (vitamin water is the best ) and lose the food.
