Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 My doctor prescribed Provigil for me but the insurance company wouldn't cover it because it wasn't for 1. narcolepsy, 2. sleep apnea or 3. multiple sclerosis. It's really upsetting. Abby In a message dated 2/19/2008 3:12:41 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, man_u8@... writes: I am also on plaquenil, but I feel constantly drained. I used to take efedra before it was banned. I have tried multiple vitamins, energy drinks, caffine, etc with no luck. Efedra has been the only thing that has worked for me. I am seeing a pulmonary doctor next week to see if I can get on provigil, which is used to treat nacrolepsy to help combat the chronic fatigue that I feel. **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have heard that, that is why I am seeing a pulmonary doctor...if I get a sleep study done the insurance company will be more willing to prescribe it to me. I have an indigent care program at the local general hospital (I have no heatlh insurance since I am waiting on SSDI), I am waiting to see if they will approve lyrica; knowing my luck I will get approved for provigil and denied for lyrica. > > My doctor prescribed Provigil for me but the insurance company wouldn't > cover it because it wasn't for 1. narcolepsy, 2. sleep apnea or 3. multiple > sclerosis.
