Can you take provigil with fluoxetine?
Firstly, a few questions because to be safe you need to think
about this abit more.
Why do you want to take the 2 together? Provigil
(generic:Modafinil) can be anxiolytic, is this why you're taking it
with an antidepressant? or is it for recreational purposes? (if you
are I'd get something better)
Anyways, your answer.
Yes. They both work on Neurotransmitter (NT) systems, but since
they work on different systems there's no reason why you can't take
them together. Although, as a Pharmacologist, I dislike
recommending cocktails. NT's are complex things, and there
interactions aren't to be underestimated.
SSRI's take 2+ weeks to take effect (I assume you're taking them
at the moment, and Provigil will be started soon) Provigil is a few
days. So if you start feeling side effect or showing counter
indications, stop taking the Provigil.
As with everything in pharmacology, doasage is the key. Be
careful, act sensibly, and if you're in doubt go to a doctor.
