Most likely Provigil. It’s EXPENSIVE. Many insurance companies balk about paying for it, given that there are a number of cheaper options (alas, these are all C-II, which means they come with their own hassles).
Response:
Hi everyone! I am so happy to have found this newsgroup so please bear with me while I get all my questions out there. I have an appointment with my sleep specialist at the hospital in Dec. and am curious if he will automatically recommend another overnight sleep test to verify if my sleep patterns have changed in the last five years. I certainly would like to be re-evalulated to ensure that I am getting the best possible sleep possible. Also I heard on the news the other night (American) that there is a drug on the market for people who suffer from narcolepsy and sleep apnea that provides daytime stimulation without caffeine to aid people getting through their day at peak performance. Of course by the time I was listening seriously, the name of the drug had escaped me completely. Does anyone know about this drug and does anyone take it. I would certainly enjoy feeling energetic and well rested once again. .Lorraine
