Thank you so much for sharing your similar experience and for your suggestion! I mentioned Provigil or Nuvigil to my pdoc. He gave me Nuvigil samples but warned me it's really hard to get through insurance. I called my pharmacy (CVS, California), and they said it was like $500 a month for the GENERIC Provigil. I'm still thinking of testing out the Nuvigil samples.

My husband says if Provigil or Nuvigil really helps me, it's worth the money. He's been so patient but is understandably worn out and probably frustrated about having to come home every evening to a wife who is depressed or anxiety-ridden, has already been drinking beer, and is mad at herself for not accomplishing anything meaningful during the day.

Thanks again!
