>> You ever try provigil? <<

Yes. It made me feel like crap.

It’s barely possible that the single-isomer drug (Nuvigil) will turn out to be more tolerable for people like me. To my great surprise, that was the case with Lexapro.

FRX, which has executed the Celexa-->Lexapro switch with near perfection, has used stepped Celexa price increases and rescinded HMO discounts to assure that Celexa usage is at a pretty low level by the time generics hit the market.
