provigil generic name

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........

I use Adderall for fatigue and it helped me better than provigil did. Better yet it is generic and so my copay is only $10.00. Much better than 25, or 50 that I have to pay for other meds. Maybe switching to a generic will help. Can't hurt to ask. Hope it helps!

Oh yeah, I feel your pain! I'm hit with the fatigue, too. They started me on Amantadine a few weeks ago and it really isn't working so good. Not a profound difference, that's for sure. I was hoping to get on Provigil but it wasn't offered to me, even though I requested it by name. I have heard that many people do have problems getting it approved by insurance, unless you have a sleep disorder.

I am sure my insurance will be all over that generic provigil..they hate covering for it now. But we do need a generic, as long as it works as well. I used to pay half of the cost, $250.00, until my plan changed and now I only pay $80.00. Its their plan but some things don't go their way.

hey Sarah provigil went generic now so maybe your insurance will cover it? I am taking 200mg I can half the pills .

Medicine is what I meant to say! I'm getting used to typing on an iPad...it fills in words that I don't want sometimes...

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'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.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I just dropped off my prescription to get it filled at the pharmacy. I'm holding out a little bit of hope that the medicine will work. I'm thouroughly discouraged about the Provigil not being covered by my insurance company because I feel halfway human on this medicine. I kind of feel like the character Charlie in Flowers for Algernon having seen the way I could be and having to slide backwards to the way things were before.

ve been taking the generic for Celexa and it has helped with keeping a good perspective on everything. Even when things are really bad I seem to keep a reasonable attitude. I haven't heard of anything that helps with the fatigue.

However, someone here pointed out that Nuvigil might just be a way the makers of Provigil have to keep Provigil users paying for Trade name drug a little longer (since Provigil will be going generic soon). However, you might consider just having your doctor order a few pills of Nuvigil to see if it could help you. Also, regarding the Provigil: Make sure its expiration date is a long time off. I have found that can make a difference - that it gets weaker with time.

Hi, everyone. To all the new people that I haven't said hello to yet: Hi there, and welcome! To Lulu: Thanks for the tip about the generic Miralax; I paid $2.40 for a month's supply! Oh oh, fuzzy-brain doubt; that was you that told me that I could get the generic form through my insurance, right? Yesterday I saw my PCP; she listened, answered all my questions.

t even try to convince my insurance company I needed Provigil, he said it ws so outrageously expensive they would automatically deny me. He instead gave me a perscription for (generic name) Phendimetrazine 105mg extended release tablets. It does basically the same thing as Provigil, maybe not as strong. I was having trouble staying awake driving. I would feel like I was awake, but really far away looking down at myself. Not good when you drive for a living, LOL.

I looked up Carbatrol, it is another name for Tegretol, or the generic Carbamazepine. How long have you been taking it? Possible side effects are: Less serious side effects may include: feeling dizzy, drowsy, or unsteady; vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain; confusion, headache, blurred vision; ringing in your ears; dry mouth, swollen tongue; or joint or muscle pain, leg cramps.
