In reply to Modafinil or Alertec how do I get it?, posted by Steve25sds on December 8, 2002, at 20:52:19

Modafinil is the generic name, Provigil is the brand name, I believe. My understanding is that right now the only FDA approved use is for narcolepsy. The manufacturers are actively pursing labelling for other EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness). I get my Rx from my sleep doc (who diagnosed me with narcolepsy). You may be able to find a pdoc who does a lot of ADHD work willing to try you on it -- assuming you have ADHD. But your insurance may not pay for that use.

> I'm in the U.S. and I heard of modafinil and the generic, alertec. I've tried to get it from my doctor, but he says he doesn't believe in those types of meds. What can I do?
