5509293 tn?1428531475 I have been taking nuvigil 250mg every morning since 2009. Now 2015 my insurance will not pay. My dr has send everything insurance ask for. So my dr put me on Modofinil 200mg 2 every morning I'm paying 299.99 for 30 pills because my insurance is saying its for people with sleep disorders or shift workers.
429700 tn?1308007823 After all this time, three years at least, my insurance company is no longer approving me for Provigil. This drug is the one thing that I've taken that has made a huge impact on the quality of my life. Without it, I'm unable to think clearly and I'm too fatigued to get up out of bed or off the couch. I may have to retire on disability because there's no way I will be able to teach. The drug also helps with the ADD (diagnosed after the MS as an adult, LOL).
Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 29 yo F who was diagnosed with MS in 1998. I have been doing awesome on provigil for the last 7 years. Now my insurance company will not pay for it, and I surely can't afford $380 per month for this. I have recently run out of the dr's samples and my last prescription. My dr has done everything they can think of to fight this and I have done the same. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I am just tired all of the time.
Avatar f tn Hi I was rx.ed Provigil but my insurance denied me too. They did accept Ritalin , I've been on it a week .. It helped a little with the fatigue but I was being cautious , I never took a full dose ( I'm sensitive to many drugs) I see neuro tomorrow and am going to try to get Adderall instead , its suppose to have a smoother effect.
1088527 tn?1425313375 hey Sarah provigil went generic now so maybe your insurance will cover it? I am taking 200mg I can half the pills .
Avatar f tn Good news/bad news. Bad news is that my insurance has never approved Provigil but my doctor always had a plenty of samples for me. Now, no more samples. Has anyone tried the generic Provigil? I've been given the new Nuvigil to try for a week. If that also works then we will fight my insurance company for that. Just checking to see if anyone has tried the new medicine or the generic form.

518001 tn?1212419235 Is anyone taking Provigil? Has it helped you? What does it help? Do you have any side effects from it? I'm going to try it, after I get my results back from my next set of MRIs. Does it make the tremors worse? Thank you!
405614 tn?1329144114 Must be a difference in insurance companies. Mine paid for Provigil, Ritalin, you name it--all without any diagnosis. It's crazy, though--my insurance pays hundreds of dollars a month for my Strattera--two 40-mg pills.
572651 tn?1530999357 I had my neuro switch my Provigil rx from monthly to a 90 day supply so I could save money. It was costing me $50 a month, because my insurance has it as a tier 3 drug. Going to the 90 day supply lets me get the third month for $0 - it would have cost me $100 for 90 days instead of $150. 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?
572651 tn?1530999357 A co-worker called this week with a question about our insurance - she was denied provigil/nuvigil, even though her doctor contacted the insurance company and appealed the decision. She suffers great fatigue and the sample helped her a lot. She was wondering if I had any clues as to how others get this drug approved since it is not an MS drug.
Avatar m tn It is also prescribed for extreme fatigue, but if it is not prescribed for the 3 things that the FDA has given approval for, insurance will not approve it. I took Provigil for about a year, I was on suboxone at the time, which can cause excessive sleepyness, but it was more than that. In the end, I was tested for sleep apnea and ended up being diagnosed with RLS, which can cause the same symptoms. The provigil worked great, but like Eagle said, it is very expensive.
1142551 tn?1264736930 I have been prescribed Provigil for my fatigue and my insurance (state assistance) will not cover the cost. I asked the pharmacy how much it would be just to buy it and he said it cost 500.00 monthly. My question is if anyone knows of a prescription assistance program or an online pharmacy that I can get this medication for a cheaper price.
Avatar f tn 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.
405614 tn?1329144114 Hi Kathy, I think it can be shortened and more direct: Dear Dr. Please Support My Case to My Insurance Company, I’m writing once again for your help in appealing my insurance company's denial of my Provigil prescription. A one week trial was successful in improving my energy level. Other anti-fatigue medications are not appropriate for me due to a previous trial with Cylert.
429700 tn?1308007823 I also was prescribed Ritalin because my insurance would not cover Provigil. I took it for a year, but it gradually became less effective. I have now moved on to Adderall. Unlike Provigil, the other two meds "kick in" much sooner. I occasionally "schedule" a dose if I know I need evening energy (the kind of energy required to go to a movie with your family). If I forget to take a dose, I am quickly reminded of how well they actually work.
405614 tn?1329144114 I received a letter of denial for Provigil coverage after a free week's trial (from the drug company). The Provigil made a world of difference, but is really expensive. My other option is Ritalin, and I don't like the sound of the side effects. I had no negative ones from Provigil.
Avatar f tn s been an issue with me for more than 10 years, but the last 2 months I was really bad and just being awake for more than 5 hours wore me out. He prescribed Provigil and I've read some of the threads on it and it sounds very promising. My question is, is it something you can take daily indefinitely? Or are you supposed to just take it when you need it (which would be daily for me!) I hope my insurance will cover it because I'm not diagnosed with ms or anything.
Avatar f tn How do I suggest to my PCP that I would like Provigil or Adderall for my EXTREME fatigue, to the poing of falling asleep while driving, without seeming to be drug seeking.? I have got to have something, I drive for a living! I am so afraid of having a wreck, but I can't tell my job I have this problem. I have to have this job for the insurance, since if I went on disability I couldn't get medicare for 2 years, and how do you pay for insurance on the pittance you get for disability?
Avatar f tn I am tired, lack energy and have brain fog. My insurance won't authorize Provigil, because I don't have narcolepsy. Is there a medication that would work similarly to Provigil? I might have MS - need to do a repeat brain MRI. I would very much appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
1831920 tn?1320857757 I have heard a lot of good things about things about provigil in treating depression if coupled with an antidepressent. Has anyone tried this? I am having a hard time functioning. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken Provigil for the extreme fatigue of fibro? It is not one of the conditions listed for it's use. But if it helps with extreme fatigue in other conditions, why wouldn't it help in fibro. Thinking about asking my PCP about it next time I'm in to see him.
