Mixing Provigil(Modafinil) and Xanax(Alprazolam)

[delphinen]

Hi guys
I have a little question: It is safe to take 300mg Provigil (Modafinil is the drug) to "wake" and "mood" me up, with 1 or 2mg of Xanax (Alprazolam)?

and last but not least, at the coming down, eating some crackers, taking some Ativan (Lorazepam) and some SOMA should be enough to sleep right? because I have to wake somewhat early the next day to work.

As always, thanks in advance

Why? Modafinil and alprazolam would most likely work against each other and I don't see the benefit of combining the two.

Modafinil is a mild stimulant, and I have not taken it for a long time, 1mg of Alprazolam to calm down any nervousness I could have (I am very tolerant to benzos)

Let me rephrase my question: I'm on 450mg Modafinil (more than I expected), so far I'm feeling very good. My question is, how can I "stop" the drug and sleep?
would eating some snacks with cheese, some Lorazepam and some SOMA do it, or I already am forced to keep awake all night?

PS: I'm somewhat sensitive to uppers and have a big tolerance to downers.

Just for a reminder if someone is in a situation like mine in the future, after taking 5mg Alprazolam spaced between 3 or 4 hours, a box of snacks with Cheddar cheese, 3ug Clonidine, 40mg Lorazepam, and 350mg SOMA, I was able to achieve like 2.5-4 hours of sleep. I'm kept hydrated all time, and also made sure to take some B2,B6 and B12 vitamin during the night... but I think a simple 50mg Diphenhydramine pill would have saved me a lot of the other meds.

I wake up half early, first with a little headache, but it went away with a cup of coffee, some Vitamin B family, and 2mg Ergotamine. Other than that, no problems.

Btw, I still can feel a little the speedy/mental effect of the Provigil (T12+).

I am using modafinil for years And i also had big meth addiction in past.
If i take 400mg at 06:00 and 200mg at 12:00 i can eat 10mg xanax, for 30minutes feel better and stimulation goes on....i find sleeping after big dose modafinil complicated than after doing Meth. Benzos do not work their potency is lowered to minimum.
(Especially when u take high dose modafinil, vortioxetine, HIGH dose tramadol and or/Oxy/DHC).
Last night i didn't sleep, now..night is coming and 300mg oxyER spred throught the day + ONLY 750mg tram today + more than 10mg alprazolam and 250mg cinolazepam and i feel...alert...my vision is blurred from smoking hash at morning but i can't just lay down.

Ok, now the solution.
Modafinil energy can be very easily stopped by H1- agonists. Even 5x10mg cetirizine will have huge impact. Or 1-2 diphenhydramine/atarax and other old antihistaminines + very small dose of antipsychotic drug with strong antihistaminergic effects...I works but u will wake up slightly...hazy...little bit impaired :D. But opioids and benzos are like a butter and modafinil the knife.
It Is histamine agonist (with anticonvulsants properties) but if u take high dose, this Is not like 1 cup of coffe or piracetam. This Is relatively potent, long acting CNS stimulant.
Try antihistamines and weed ....few hours later u will wake up freshly retarded from 4-6hrs of sleep.
