Nuvigil cost

[groverallover]

I was prescribed Nuvigil for extreme fatigue. It's the only med that works, but I can't afford it. Can't get financial help, because I have a husband with an income. Has anyone found a way to get this med at a reasonable cost?

There is Provigil which I think is cheaper

You gave a very helpful toolkit to groverallover.  I think I'll check it out too.  It may not work for me (Medicare's drug policy isn't really geared towards helping with expensive diseases/but it's worth a shot. )

Thanks JJ!

Hi and welcome,

I was looking through a pdf for someone else and notice it also gave some direction with the costs of medications, and thought it might be of help to you.....

"Help with the Cost of Medications for Symptom Management

In addition to the disease-modifying medications discussed above, there are many other medications, treatments, and strategies to help manage specific MS symptoms such as bowel and bladder function, spasticity and pain.

Symptom management medications make important contributions to keeping people with MS well and active. “Finding Lower-Priced Prescription Drugs” is a useful resource focused on making medications more affordable.

Otherwise i'm in Australia and we have a very different healthcare system so it's not an area i'm familiar enough with to help, sorry!

Cheers............JJ
