> I keep reading in this thread that Adrafinal is easy to get without a prescription, but I haven't seen anything(or maybe I missed it) about whether you can get it *with* a prescription from your Pdoc. The way my insurance works I would only have to pay $8.00 per month's supply. Also, is that cheaper then just ordering the stuff on my own? Thanks, in advance, for the info! CarolAnn
CarolAnn-
Adrafinil isn't approved by the FDA, and therefore isn't available in the US. You can order it from abroad.
Btw - the dosage seems to be 300mg to 1200mg per day (or 1 to 4 pills per day), so if you can get your insurance to subsidize you, $8 per month is definitely cheaper.
If you can get a script, you may be able to get it cheaper via a french pharmacy - I once saw someone else mention that it was roughly $12 for a box of 40x300mg, or $40 for 160x300mg in france.
But don't know how your insurance co. would deal with/feel about covering a med not approved by the FDA...?
Good luck! & let us know how that works if you persue this w/your ins. co. - I'd be curious about their reaction. michael
