There was a time when the company was trying to get everyone to switch to Nuvigil when they raised the price of Provigil so it was more expensive than Nuvigil right before it went generic. But the price is finally dropping.

And when the card didn't work because my insurance refused to cover Nuvigil it was still cheaper. That was when Nuvigil first came out and one of its' advertising points was that it would be cheaper than generic Provigl. That's been maybe 4-5 years ago but I was able to get the highest dose of Nuvigil and I think break it (I want to say I took 3/4 tab daily so I did a lot of breaking) and I paid around $325-$375 I think. I also got one refill per year free from Cephalon through a coupon. I had a small family owned pharmacy that was really good at working with me on keeping the cost as low as possible; the same pharmacy stocked Emsam just for me. I miss the service in that place but my Med D says I go to CVS.<br /><br />It sounds like your psychiatrist is very reasonable. I can even understand why it would seem compassionate to try to avoid the high costs of provigil/nuvigil but well I haven't tried the other drugs so I guess I don't know but I'd be very afraid of them. I had enough trouble balancing out provigil/nuvigil if my mood shifted between the time I took it and my afternoon dose of anxiety med (I took hydroxyzine during the day for that). Now I take it occasionally and nearly always get pretty manic from it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168132384344330580noreply@blogger.com
