It is true that approval for this drug is very difficult, but it is possible. We argued that excessive daytime fatigue and sleepiness was causing impairment and listed all the other medications that we have tried. We also said that it had an almost immediate positive response. I think though it is not approved for depression even though there have been studies on this use that show it should be if you make an argument with valid reasons that meet whatever requirements they have, then you can get it approved. Otherwise, even as a generic now, Provigil is over 800$ for a month's supply. They should finally reduce the price and approve it for treatment resistant depression.
Today I am feeling more active. I also like it because even though technically a stimulant it makes me feel calm and does not produce anxiety.
