> Looks like too many people were buying generic Provigil in Canada, so the Drug Companies change the rules so it's now a controlled substance and the Canadians can't send it anymore, unless you had already been having it sent to you. So if I would have gotten it a couple of months ago I would be ok. But I didn't, so I'm floundering around.
Provigil is a controlled Schedule IV (C-IV) drug in the US -- the "relaxation" of receiving mailed medications by US Customs from Canada to the US for a 90 day supply without much search only applies to non scheduled drugs.......(e.g. Prozac, Seroquel, Viagra), not e.g. Valium (C-IV), or e.g. codeine + acetaminophen + whatever (C-III or possibly C-IV) which at least at one point was obtainable by reason-of-need from a pharmacist without a prescription, in Canada [but only while being in Canada].
Or maybe I'm missing something ?Anyhow I'm sorry you are having trouble obtaining a good price (I assume lack of insurance ?) on the medication.
