I take the following each day:

AM: multivitamin
Iron supplement
150mg Provigil

PM: multivitamin
Iron supplement
Claritin
60mg Celexa (80mg during the week before menstration)

The Provigil is for extreme drowsiness, and the celexa is for depression. I have been working regularly with my psychiatrist. We had gotten the Provigil just hign enough to keep me from nodding off. I started the Chantix a week ago Wednesday (today being Friday) and it seems like I'm not even taking the Provigil. Does anyone know if it's the Chantix? Any information you could give would be helpful. Thank you!
