Hi Maxime and Justherself:
Drugs are a lot cheaper in Canada. Also, Canada gets generic versions before we do in the US.
Canada has generic Provigil.
U.S. wont be getting generic Provigil for at least 3 more years.
So the US drug companies charge as high as they possibly can. Many Americans have good medical insurance so they don[t care what the drugs cost, often don't even look at what their insurance paid for the drug.Hopefully, this will change. It's crazy.
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.
Take care,
Gayle
