Hey kids,
What are the ones that work for you or someone you know? My insurance denied my Nuvigil that happens to work fabulous for me. Provigil doesn't work as well, and the amantadine never worked at all. I have high blood pressure too. What's left, the stimulants?

Your Doctor needs to inform the Insurance that the Nuvigil is medically necessary for you. Since you have tried the Amantadine they should approve it once all of the forms are completed. It only took me 3 months to get the Insurance to approve Provigil for me, and it does work very well for me.

They denied the second request. I think it will go to the employer if I have to fight it further.

I used something that isn't used particularly for fatigue normally - but when I suffered from fatigue, it worked better than anything else. It is a patch made for ADHD and is called Daytrana. One of the greatest things about it is that since it is a patch, it is a steady stream of the med, so no ups and downs on it like you get with typical pills. You put the patch on in the morning and then remove at night.

What is it with insurance companies denying coverage of Nuvigil? This is the second instance I've read about in the last two weeks. What's up with that?
Sorry to hear of this, Wiz. I hope that the good doctor can find something else for you...it should be up to him to come up with something else that is safe and effective for you.

He's fantastic Debbie but some of the office staff has been dropping the ball with this. Susan has helped me a lot and has been calling me every other day trying to get this straightened out. They're going to call in Provigil again and see if I can get that. I might have to scrape up the cash to pay for the Nuvigil myself if it doesn't work as well.
