HI,

He said it was not a stimulant.
He said it is an improvement over Provigil.
http://www.musc.edu/psychiatry/resea...ilens_2006.pdf

I asked what part of the brain it worked.
He may have said something about the prefrontal cortex but I was not really listening and also looking back I think it was not a relevant question.
Maybe I should have asked about the mechanism of the med -- not about it's place.

He checked it with his software to make sure it did not interfere with current meds.

I think it is a hugely expensive med.
Some folks on-line say it is used off label for ADHD.



I used to take ritalin and loved it.
Maybe I should try ritalin again.
