First of all, Provigil is not a "psycho-babble" medication. It is a very effective medication for the condition I have which is extreme fatigue. I have Hepatitis C with cirrhosis and fatigue is one of the side effects. It combats the fatigue and also helps with the depression I feel cause I am so tired all the time. It is expensive now because the manufacturer is coming out with a new product called Nuvigil. They have come out with Nuvigil because the patent on Provigil is about to run out and they need to have something that gives them as much income as Provigil has given them; not because Nuvigil is a better drug. The manufacturer of Provigil has proven themselves to value money over people. Of course, in a capitalist economy this is par for the course.
