Reply To: Does Provigil (monafinil) Work for ADD ADHD

[honda]

I was taking both Dexidrine every day, and sleep medication every second night along with seroquel every night until my doctor received a letter stating that he was prescribing outside the expected norms.   After receiving that letter he gave me a choice of either Dexidrine of zoplicon, but not both.  I needed my sleep more then Dexidrine so I chose zoplicon.   I later found out about Provigil and asked him if I could try it as a substitute for dexidrine.  He punched the medication into his computer and said no.  It is a controlled substance.  I informed him that pharmacist said it wasn’t.  He just plain would not prescribe or talk about it any further.  I would love to go back on Dexidrine.  It helped me so much.  But my doctor has been so scared that he won’t even let me try Provigil.  The fear of reprimand amongst the medical profession is so strong that they often won’t allow certain medication, even for those who really need it.
