Weird the 100 mg ones are more expensive. My doctor just started me on them. I was really weirded out on them at first..200 mg's first go around. I found out if you take them with Strattera, Effexor, and Xanax... you may get side effects.

I had this feeling like my chest was gonna explode and I would pass out, so my doctor cut my doses of strattera back, and now all is well. Would you believe I still fall asleep on provigil sometimes?? good luck with it this time.

I understand your nervousness. I have three boxes of free samples that they gave me of provigil at the ms clinic I went to for a consultation and I have been afraid to try it. They have just been sitting in my closet for over a month. My neuro told me he does not prescribe stimulants. I am not sure if he includes provigil in this category or not.

Provigil is probably the most expensive drug I take. My insurance pays for it and my copay is $10. I looked on the receipt of the last one I got filled and the cost to insurance was $549.00!! Are you kidding me?? Good thing I don't take them every day......now that I am not working unless I have a reason to be wide awake I just don't take them twice a day every day. I haven't had any side effects from them, though. I'm just able to concentrate and don't get sleepy like I do when I don't take them. I wonder if they will ever be on the $4 prescription list??

Wiz, I take Trazodone at bedtime, too. 50 mg. It's one thing I cannot do without if I want to get a good nights sleep.

I was going to ask my Neuro. to put me on Provigil but my insurance only covers $1500/max. a year (its grad student insurance).. so after three times I would reach my limit and that stinks. I guess I don't need to be awake much in school First.. have to deal with my blood pressure, darnit.. one problem at a time
