Hi!

Ritalin is much much cheaper than Provigil, if you haven`t tried this drug, I would advice you to do that.

I live in Norway, where one fortunatly get half the costs of meds for chronic disorders covered by social security systems. But this doesn`t normaly count for Provigil, because it is so much more expencive that other meds for the same disorder.
You will first have to try Ritalin, then amphetamine based meds and if none of this works for you can make a special application for Provigil.

Because of this system my Ritalin expences is about 150 USD for a year. This is LESS than I paid for TWO WEEKS use of Provigil, when I tried while waiting for my MSLT!
If you ask me there something very unsocial about the cost of Provigil. It surely don`t cost that much more to produce?
