FYI: I would strongly suggest getting a RX for Modafinil (Provigil) and not Nuvigil (Amodifinil). Nuvigil is very expensive and my insurance company required a whole battery of additional tests before they paid for it. I believe Modafinil is now generic so I imagine they care much less.
Last time I checked, cephalon had some sort shady deal to keep generic modafinil off the market for a few more years (paying generic manufacturers to not bring it to market). If modafinil goes generic, it will be really good news.
From what I've heard before, it was almost impossible for people to get approved by insurance for modafinil, maybe times have changed and I need to pay the doctor a visit in the future.
I have an actual sleep disorder and I am currently going through hell trying to get my insurance to pay for modafinil, and I've been through the whole battery of tests. :( I don't want to be "smarter" I want to be awake.
