In reply to Any hope for Provigil generic?, posted by Dinah on March 31, 2008, at 10:37:26
Generic provigil is all over the world. Just not the US. Type in google "modafinil generic" and you'll find bunches of overseas pharmacies that ship it internationally. The FDA is ok with it as long as it is for personal use, under a doctor's care, and not more than a 90 day supply. Prescriptions are not needed, but having one anyway is a good idea.
As with all generics though, USA or not, you cannot be guaranteed the generic will be of equal potency, equal quality, or equal efficacy of the real stuff. We've seen that a lot here with drugs like Xanax, Prozac, and others. Some people do fine with generics, while others can tell a huge difference from brand.
