    I just got approval from my insurance to take Provigil. I'll start it tomororw and I'm looking forward to it. I'm like Uncle Sleepy, I can sleep anywhere. When others think of the weekends as days to get out and run around I think of them as days I can sleep in. I had to get preauthorization for this medication because it costs over $750 for 60 pills. I pay $50 which is still a lot. I'm also bipolar, been this way all my life but finally disagnoised about 4 years ago with bipolar 2. We spent the better part of 4 years putting me to sleep in hopes of helping keep me awake. Dr. finally decided to give Nuvigil a try but insurance wouldn't accept it, they finally did this one. I'm also going in for another sleep study. He's got me on 200mgs twice a day in the morning, so one when I first wake up and one more no later then 11am so I'll keep it by my bed with a bottle of water for when I first wake up. Wish me luck, I'm sick of being sleepy all the time! I yawn constantly and people think they are boring me. That's not true! I'm just tired!
