I can tell I am on the effects of a few stimulants Provigil, Strattera (non-stimulant-stimulant), and 72 /mg/day Concerta for Narcolepsy and ADD- Along with the Depakote, Lamictal, Zoloft, Risperdal for Aspergers. I feel more awake and mood seems quite stable, "normal" feeling. However, I see my eyes are glassy (makes my eyes look really good looking though). My therapist response to me on the stimulants is "subdued" as if I am Valium. Interesting to say that stimulants are slowing me down that much as if I am on a sedative, but feeling more awake at the same time, as if the world around me is slowed down a bit. Is glassy eyes OK when on these meds-I mean they are not extremely glassy, just bright. Thanks -Jake

Hi Jake,
Thats a lot of meds! Did you add those one at a time, or did PDoc give many/all at once? You feel like your normal self, or a little euphoric? Which med/meds made the difference do you think?
Glad your lookin good with your shiny eyes!!!!

Hi Jade,
The meds were added one at a time over a very long period of time. Actually this is the last month I will be on Provigil, so we will be dropping one. My sleep doctor prescribes the Concerta in communication with my pdoc. I can distinguish pretty much what each medication is doing and they all seem to be effective. Zoloft: Social phobia depression, Lamictal: impulsive autistic outbursts Depakote: Social anxiety, impulsiveness, Risperdal: Helps me sleep deeper at night. Provigil: Narcolepsy, Concerta: Narcolepsy + ADHD symptoms.
My Dx is Aspergers and Narcolepsy. An interesting combination.

My son has epilepsy and is bi-polar, they think its connected. So I thought you were so happy with the combo, why are you d/cing the provigil?

Seems lately I've seen quite a few dx'd with Aspergers. Can you explain a bit about it? Thanks Phillipa

Hi Phil, I will try to explain it on here soon. There was strong evidence and recorded evidence of developmental problems since age 3 with the onset to Developmental Dyspraxia and major speech problems. Will write more soon.
