difference between provigil and modafinil

s office to see if there was anything I could take and it was either Modafinil or Amantadine and another specialist had told me that Modafinil was the one that worked best so I am leaving fatigue alone for now.

Not a huge difference but the difference between being unproductive and productive. When I chatted with the nurse she told me the clinic had many patients on stronger, more addictive meds like Ritalin and Adderall, and that it was just simply a case of to what extent fatigue was impacting their lives. For me, that's the point. Fatigue was interfering with my life in a major way, and when the naps and reducing workload didn't work, I was willing to try amantadine.

Modafinil is also known as alertec and provigil if you want to search this names as well.

I previously tried Modafinil with no benefit but decided to try it again today and a 200 mg dose really seems to be making a difference. I'm hopeful I'll continue to get this benefit as my fatigue has been severe lately. I literally fell asleep in the middle of getting a filling at the dentist last week. Alex, if your fatigue is caused by anemia I wonder how useful the Modafinil would be for you. I think if it were me I would seek to correct that problem first.

I work in a retail pharmacy and am used to seeing the prior authorization responses from insurance companies. I also used to be on Provigil (brand) and now take the generic for it, Modafinil, and my insurance approves it, but I have had a sleep study with a narcolepsy diagnosis and my doctor's office has to get it approved every year for a one year period. It is not easy and the doctor has to be willing to fight to get the approval. The diagnosis does make a difference.

Can anybody tell about a website that I can trust,where I can buy Provigil(modafinil)for less?.I dont have medical insurance and I cant afford to.pay for it at regular price.I suffer from MS and I have chronic fatigue at all times.please,Anybody know about this.

any advice or experiences that could help me understand would be really helpful please. My brother has started university to study architecture this year and due to the huge amount of nights he had to work, started going on modafinil. Now that the year is finished and he's not taking it however, he has become aggressive, irrational and rude. Does anyone know if this is because of the modafinil or if there's a link.

I am switching from Avonex to Tecifidera and from Modafinil to Symmetrel. How has these worked out for others? I am looking forward to not having the injections and being able to take pills instead.

I find it funny that you bring that up because I am also on Modafinil and Cymbalta. Try to get rid of the Seroquel and trazadone when you can and go for the Cymbalta and Provigil. Think about adding a good vitamin B complex to help with energy and you metabolism and what it can do for your brain and mood.

Hi there. Modafinil or provigil is a central nervous system stimulant and much abused. This can produce euphoria, it can be abused for a high sensation particularly by students as stimulants for staying up all night for exams. There are certain common side effects associated with its use like headache, dizziness, difficulty in falling asleep, drowsiness, nausea, heartburn, confusion and burning, tingling and numbness of skin. There could be certain withdrawal symptoms associated with it.

Hello, my doctor gave me some samples of this, I was looking it up and saw the above post, continued to search and I found where someone on here said that PV's generic is Modafinil and there are other names Alertec and Modalert. I don't know if this will help you but it is worth checking into. My insurance would not pay at first, my doctor had to fill out a form justifying it.

I was very surprised and pleased when the new rx arrived in the mail - Provigil has now gone generic, and Modafinil (the generic name) was shipped instead of the name brand. The cost? A total of $20 for a 90 day supply. Maybe now that it is available in generic form all of our insurance companies will be less difficult to work with and get approved. We can only hope........

My GP and I talked about this last month and she said she really likes this rug and has several people - especially shift workers- who use it and it is not addictive. The difference with the provigil/modafinil are sometimes subtle because it doesn't rev you up like an amphetamine. Try it Mikey, you might just like it.

I have read articles on the FDA website that are warning against purchasing RX drugs from websites in other countries because they have found many of those online pharmacies are not even giving you the drug you think you are buying. It is very very dangerous. http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm048396.htm Check out that article with the link above. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/UCM204943.

Drugs which have been used for narcolepsy are Modafinil (Provigil) or Armodafinil. You should try the lifestyle measures first before going in for medicines. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I have been fighting for twenty plus years to find out what was wrong - Called a hypochondriac by doctors and family. Told I have bipolar and - seriously - while I was laughing and joking around told that I was depressed and it was causing my symptoms. At that point I told dr. to give me shock therapy or a lobotomy then. I will do whatever it takes not to be this sick/pain/fatigued. I have/am suffered a cornucopia of symptoms. Fatigue being the worse of them all.

For the record, what I'm about to say is true. "I missed the starting gun". I've been on Modafinil (Provigil) for 10 years and counting. Furthermore, this drug said not to create physiologic addiction, actually does. I wonder how come I'm still alive. In my few weeks I was up at 10 pills 100 mgs, then 20, and most of this precious decade I kept at a cruising speed of 30-35. That's not within the recommended dosage. 3,000- 3,500 mgs.

For me, the difference between Nuvigil and Provigil was amazing. Nuvigil gave me back my life. Provigil let me leave the house but I had trouble functioning. And since Provigil is "going away" it is tough to even get samples. My insurance never approved Provigil but they have approved Nuvigil.

I have been living with MS for ten years and have been lucky. Between taking AVonex and Provigil my relapses are very few and far between. and also not severe.

This is very important as most drugs for CFS have direct effects on neurotransmitters such as Cymbalta, which is a Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and Provigil, which is a dopamine transporter re-uptake inhibitor.

I'm Canadian as well, and just on spec I phoned an independent pharmacy Still accredited and with a storefront, just not part of a major chain. She said they will fill and ship meds to the US as long as there is a valid prescription associated with the order and the person had to fill out some kind of form to verify their identity. I didn't ask anything about fees, but I am on modafinil (provigil) and just for reference, my last prescription of 100 tabs was $72.06 with a $10.
