1) Please correct the following statement in your post:

"And lastly, a couple of points as far as Provigil is concerned: first, because its patent is expiring, the manufacturer, Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is pushing patients to a newly tweaked molecule of essentially the same drug, marketed under the name of Nuvigil"

Provigil and Nuvigil ARE NOT MANUFACTURED BY AVANIR PHARMA. They're products of Cephalon.

2) As you have mentioned Nuedexta does work for neuropathic pain. A large scale new trial is ongoing but still enrolling patients. For info please see Avanir ** for details.

3) The compounding pharmacy is breaking the law and is subject to prosecution and fines. Please remind your doctor you can obtain Nuedexta at a very good price by either using your insurance (millions of lives are covered) or if you can't afford it you can contact Avanir and they work with charities which provide assistance **

Thank you and good luck.
