Common Questions and Answers about Provigil generic price

provigil

com I have heard a lot of really good things about Provigil, although I've never used it. It was recommended to me many times though. Just some food for thought. Seems EVERYTHING comes with its own set of dangers attached. Much love MH, RB (Christina) Popular 'Smart Drug' Prescription May Carry Addiction Risk Wednesday, March 18, 2009 A so-called "smart drug" popular with young people may carry more of an addiction risk than thought, a small government study suggests.

A decent GP would be the place to start ..... provigil is actually indicated for treatment of CFS .......... Its an expensive drug at 10.00 a pill prescription.....lots of insurance companies dont wish to cover it for that reason...... but it is being widely used now - - it will most likely be rescheduled before long because it has more of the shortcomings that straight amphetamines have than was thought during trials........

I've been quoted 33% copay (tier 4) by my drug insurance company which is over $300 for me The online sources I've contacted no longer cover provigil since the generic came out and the generic is about the same price... Looking for financial assistance sources if anyone knows of any thanks!

They say it saves quite a bit of money. The cost of generic drugs will drop even lower in Canada because the govt has ruled pharma co's can no longer offer kick-backs to pharmacies.....although I don't know how this works and how it will lower prices, but that's what the news said a few days ago. Lulu's right, it's got to be dangerous to order drugs through the internet. I could give you the 1-888 number of my pharmacist, but I don't know if they're allowed to ship to the US.

My doctor wrote me prescriptions for the generic of Provigil and I will be sending it off to an on-line Canadian pharmacy to fill. It is actually affordable, so I'm going to try it.

My pharmacy told me their retail price for a month of Provigil is well over $300, and I know others here have had the same problem. Luckily my neuro's office is cooperating with all this rigmarole, so I hope it's straightened out soon. End of rant.

Provigil is more expensive and I actually had more side effects with Provigil. Nuvigil is the 2nd generation of Provigil and the manufacturer has lowered the price to get everyone "switched" before the patent on Provigil expires in 2011. 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.

(I'm a wild one, I know!) I just wanted to say I'm glad to see that the provigil is working. It sparks a general Q from me: What sort of risks are there in using anti-fatigue meds? I hinted at it once with my neuro, and he so quickly made me feel like a pill seeker, I shied away from further pursuing the matter. Thanks, and I WILL catch up on your posts, just shouting out quick in the meantime!

MY PCP HAD TO CALL AND EXPLAIN THAT I COULDN'T TAKE THE RITALIN AND THAT I NEEDED THE PROVIGIL. IT'S POLITICAL MUMBO-JUMBO ,BUT THEY PREFER A CHEAPER,GENERIC MED FIRST BEFORE A HIGH PRICED ONE. HANG IN THERE,PAST RECORDS SHOULDN'T BE NECCESARY,CONSTANT FATIGUE SHOULD OF BEEN ENOUGH. DARN INSURANCE COMPANIES. I WOULD ASK ABOUT THE EXPLANATION SENT TO THE INSURANCE CO,FATIGUE FROM CEREBRAL WHITE MATTER DISEASE.GEEZ THAT SHOULD OF BEEN ENOUGH INFO FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

There is an article in the Wall Street Journal at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122696875770635577.html?mod=googlenews_wsj that talks about this using Provigil as an example. Apparently, the drug company 1. Came up with a new, improved version that lasts longer 2. Raised the price on the current version 3. Is planning to release the new version at a much lower price thus 4. Forcing most people to switch to the new version in the couple years before the generic comes out 5.

, provigil, for example, falls into tier 4 and just because its generic, it still carries a co-pay of 30%. Generally only tier 1 is totally free of co-pay and that would cost me an additional $$ premium. To take advantage of that FREE generic, I would have to figure up how much I usually spend for generics and see if it is lesser to upgrade. Your basic question.

Provigil's patent does not expire until 2011 (?) - there will be no generic on the market for Provigil until after this date. Cephalon mfgs. Provigil. Nuvigil is the NU version of Provigil that Cephalon has developed that will be protected under patent law from generic versions until 2023. They are doing their best to get Provigil users to switch to Nuvigil over the next few years, protecting their market share and their profits.

I don't know if my doctor trusts some of the Internet sites offering discounted generic Provigil enough for him to write a prescription. I'm sure he is concerned about where I order the medicine from if I will be getting quality medicine or not. Deb- a little flustered today.

I was reading those certifications and other things they have around the office. He prescribed me provigil, now I have to wait to see if it will be approved through my insurance. I asked at the pharmacy and they said it would cost me $864, that is nuts!!! I was just thinking that if insurance didn't cover it then maybe I could pay out of pocket for it. I also mentioned to him that I am in school and my concentration has gone to he**. It has been getting worse and worse but now it is crazy.

I will use it as long as I can because all the other drugs are more addictive and you end up needing more and more. I could get them if I wanted. But provigil is so worth the price I pay. I give up shopping and work 2 days a week to pay for it right niw. MY insurance pays 50% of it, still expensive but much better than $500.00. Its gone up too since last year. I dont understand why you cannot get it...it helps make you more alert also, unlike the others.

What is the best way to get help paying for copaxone or is there a generic version that is less expensive? I was hoping to start taking it soon, but Im afraid I can't afford it. Also, has anyone taken the new oral version? Is it less expensive? I was advised not to use it but I certainly will if I can afford it. Plus, what are the other benefits of using copaxone othr than slowing down the formation of new lesions. Will I get my energy back? Will my concentration get better?

I've heard that the generic provigil isn't half what provigil is........but have filled out the paperwork for provigil, just haven't heard back from them yet, for assistance.

My dr at the Methadone clinic gave me a script for Provigil 200 mg ( Generic name~Modafinil ), it comes in 100 and 200 mg. I looked it up on google and it is for narcolepsy, sleep apnea and plain ole sleep disorders like we have. Went to pharmacy and they said it really works for not feeling so tired and it is used by the military for pilots and suppose to help with short term memory ------ now where was i? It's high dollar, for 7 pills it was going to cost over $ 80.00 .

I checked with the provigil,my insurance wont cover it and even that they have a generic available for provigil (modafil) the price for the generic without insurance is $167 a month 200mg a day.My hepa said all stimulants have the potential for abuse Didrex is a class III schedule and is less addictive than the addrerall or the ritilan(which he cant write for anyway. Didrex was approved by the FDA in 1960 as a Central Nerve stimulant. The normal dosage is 2-50mg tabs daily and costs $22.

That's really inexpensive compared to some of the prices I've seen out there for Provigil. Amphetamine make me a little afraid....

ladywhy, You may be thinking of Provigil. I keep a bottle around , in case of need It helps with both physical and mental fatigue.Good luck, the fatigue can be debilitating at times.

a night and when I wake up I just don't want to get out of bed and he gave me provigil to help me stay awake during the day. Also, I've gained 20 lbs! I asked for different meds but he doesn't want to try anything else which may not work as well as the depakote and seroquel. Am I doomed to feel like this the rest of my life, or should I insist on trying some different meds, knowing I may have to try several of them before I find anything that helps my symptoms.

I am so tired, my Provigil isn't even helping that much. On my trip to the beach, I took a whole Provigil daily ($15 each) and it barely helped. We were on the third floor, no elevator, and could only sometimes park so we only had to walk up one flight of stairs. I know I'm deconditioned from having less energy to exercise, but this was rough. We unloaded that car on the bottom level and hauled stuff up all those stairs, and it wiped me out.

I had mixed results with Provigil and could only use a 75mg - 100mg dose. There is a new generation of Provigil called Nuvigil. For my body chemistry Nuvigil is a winner. Ask your neuro for a sample of Nuvigil and give it a try. Also, have your thryoid levels been tested? You could have an underlying thyroid disorder which is contributing to your fatigue. And, you may consider having a sleep study done. There may be something that is preventing you from sleeping.

I need to work but may be let go due to peer performance --decreased memory, falling asleep mispelled word. I am taking Lexapro and provigil . Any other things taht might hel[p? Anyone elese with this problem?

My fatigue has been severe for a long time and does not improve, i also take provigil. It is very expensive and there is no break in price anywhere, i have checked everywhere. My insurance will cover it in January, my pharmacy insurance ran out in May or June this year. I am paying for it by not buying anything else for myself. Its worth it because if i didnt have it i would not be out of bed. I also work two days a week and use that to pay for it.

I was finally referred to a top research university to consult with a doctor who specializes in treatment resistant depression (TRD - an appropriate acronym if ever there was one). He has done many clinical studies treating TRD with Provigil (as have other research hospitals) and it is one of the few medications (well, the only, actually) that has helped me. The problem is that my insurance company refuses to cover the medication, which is $2400 out of pocket for the generic form.

Keep in mind that Weith's patent for Effexor XR expires very soon, and in a couple months Effexor XR will be avalibe in a generic form, thus saving you a ton of money for it. You can now get generic Venlafaxine (the active ingredient in Effexor) but most people don't do very well on it because it doesn't have the "sustained release action" that Effexor XR has. Soon Effexor XR will be avalible in generic, just not sure when.
