I am so sick and tired of feeling tired and drowsy, sometimes in the middle of the day when I am supposed to feel awake. It is like suffering to go through life always feeling lethargic, doped up, and foggy. Recently I am trying to use 200mg pills of Vivarin twicer per day one in the morning and one at night, it seems to wake me up. I dont understand I thought antidepressents were supposed to be "AntiDepressents" not "Depressants" which is what it seems they are

In reply to Caffeine Pills to solve drowsy side effects of ADs, posted by Stryker88 on February 27, 2004, at 23:28:50
I see no problems with this unless you raise the dose further, although consumption at night could hurt your sleep architecture. 400mg is the highest you should go; any more than that will take a heavy toll on your body over time via a host of deleterious physiological effects. Also, keep in mind that there could be a withdrawl syndrome involving headache, fatigue, drowsiness irritability, and mood swings when you choose to quit.
Ask your doctor for Provigil if you can afford it.
