I just find that amazing! Ritalin is a schedule II drug in this country and has strict dispensing rules. For example, you need
a NEW handwritten order for it. Provigil can be ordered over the phone, but Ritalin cannot.

I don't know what is going on in Vermont!

ProVigil and Ritalin are commonly used as stimulants for people on chronic pain management, or for other reasons. Medically doctors use both. But your pharmacist has no legal way of interchanging these. You would have to get a NEW RX order in WRITING to get Ritalin in any form in USA.
