Ross, as you've read from my other posts, I'm on adrafinil instead. But just a suggestion, stick to the lowest dose (or even half that: 100mg lowest dose - 50 mg, if you break the tablet in half) for one week to see if there's any side-effects or possible interactions in you from the combo. After the first week, I'd start increasing it by 50mg. Recommended dose is 200mg, but your doctor may decide to increase it even more.

Ross,
A polite "yikes" at your level of klonopin. How do you get up in the morning? Are you taking it for anxiety? Do you take it only at night? If I take more than 0.25 mg, I cannot get out of bed the next day. 3 mg would hammer me for a week.
The advice IsoM offered is good, especially until you know how your body will react. In contrast to the above, however, I get no discernible effect from Provigil at less than 400 mg a day, but that's just me.
I would have no short-term memory at all if I were taking the mix you're on -- if you're doing OK, it just goes to show how differently people react to medications.
IsoM is right: be careful with ANY mixing. I uncautiously started taking the tiny amount of daily enteric-coated aspirin a year ago that is recommended to help prevent heart attacks. Within about 3 weeks, I had bruises all over my legs -- DUH! My doctor never heard of any interaction problem with such a low dose of aspirin, but there it was. That's why IsoM recommends starting slow.
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Oh, Ross, there's no way I could comment on your mix! That's outside my league. I could probably find information on the combination & amount but that would require a bunch of research. And I'd hate to advice you even if I did the research - I'd only trust it for myself. What if my info was wrong?
Mark's comments are probably better regarding the klonopin. Why not post & ask Cam about your combo? He knows far more than I do. He's pretty knowledgable.
