> Provigil is suggested these days for somnolence (fatigue from meds). It shouldn't aggravate the anxiety. It's not a stimulant, it'll just wake him up.
Thanks for the suggestion. Provigil is very interesting medication, but it didn't work for us.
My son's main sedation problem seems to be mostly in waking up, not in maintaining wakefulness later in the day. For a brief period he was given Provigil to supplement a relatively low dose of Adderall without increasing anxiety. The Provigil didn't seem to help him wake up.
