200mg in the morning or before I start my shift. I don't work over nights but I do different shifts starting from very early, to afternoon shifts. I don't split my dose because I won't sleep otherwise. It's a very effective drug for excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep apnea and I have had no side effects from it so far.
It's just really expensive. Almost all drugs in Australia are covered or subsidized by the government. It's costing me between $400-$500 per script which lasts for 2 months. It's been very tightly regulated here and is extremely hard to get a script for. Even people who suffer from narcolepsy have to prove they have passed 4 out of 5 sleep latency tests before the government will pay for it, which is totally obscene.
I can't believe that our health system is slowly converting to an American based system. It's just disgraceful. Thankfully I have a job, our employers do not pay for our health cover. The government looks after that, well they used to.
Sorry, rant over!!!
