"i knew the modafinil was helping with my mdd. the benefits were hard to miss.



even when i was in a bad bout of depression i could still work. that&#039;s never happened before.



what i didn&#039;t realise was that it was actually keeping my depression at bay.



i found out because the factory that makes all the &#039;provigil&#039; for my entire country shut down so i had to stop taking it.



my doctor has put me on a large dose of ritalin and there is absolutely comparison. i am currently in the worst bout of depression i&#039;ve had in ages. it&#039;s taking all i&#039;ve got just to handle my immediate deadlines.



i am feeling the modafinil&#039;s absence, acutely.



other drug info:

i am also taking a combination of welbutrin and st. john&#039;s wort. 

they work very well together."
