Advice & Tips
Provigil works very well in combating daytime drowsiness. It is rather expensive(around $500.00 a month retail), but I'm fortunate to have a good prescription drug plan. I stopped taking it and switched to the 2nd generation version called Nuvigil. Surprisingly the new version is around half the price and works as well or better.
Cost
$25-49 monthly
