Anybody have a rec for a dr that will prescribe Modafinil without making a huge deal about it?
Protip: if you legitimately need a prescription for a controlled drug, don't go to a doctor telling them about how you want it.
They can see if you have taken it before and for how long from a Rx clearinghouse. Epic, Surescripts, etc are able to do this. Depends on if you need it. OP stated he has sleep apnea which is commonly treated with Provigil so it makes sense.
Modafinil isn't addictive, but it also doesn't treat sleep apnea, it just helps treat lack of quality sleep. I researched it and talked to doctors about it and had no problem getting a prescription for it, it's just hard to get covered by insurance.
You can get gray market online pretty easily, but make sure you research sources. Did it a few years ago with success but can't vouch for recent optionw
Stopped? Did you develop side effects or did your sleep pattern normalize?
I have abused moda extensively for academic and work purposes. At best, you can focus of you get a great nights sleep the night before. but it makes you into a zombie and highly irritatable. its unpleasant. coffee best.
Also, it makes your urine smell really bad. That's the only downside I've encountered. No crash, no jitters.

You can buy it over the counter in India. I load up on it every time I visit.
Great way to get a drug charge and permanently banned from the US....
It's not drug charge if you have a prescription. You get one for like $2 in India or you can ask the pharmacist to give you one. America is the guilty one here with its retarded drug laws
From India online. I asked my AA doc and he said no
Probably best to find a doc that's clueless
If you have a friend who will be in India, have them buy you a few hundred in a corner shop and bring it back; it's as common there as Starbucks is here. USA TSA had no issues with it (undeclared) in early 2017
One of my co-workers apparently didn't know that it was harder to get in the USA, ended up unexpectedly going home for the holidays basically to pick up a supply... His parents were happy tho lol

Provigil? Have you spoken with a doctor at Stanford? I don't take that med (family who does) but found the docs at Stanford to be very reasonable if you have a pre-existing condition.
Haven't tried stanford. Tried a psychiatrist who gave me Zoloft and said she doesn't feel comfortable prescribing provigil so I should see a sleep dr instead (also have sleep apnea). That dr wants me to do cpap, dental device, and surgery before he will consider med. ugh.
Recently had some health issues. Can highly recommend Stanford Healthcare over other places I've been. Fully covered with my Cigna plan too. Check them out.
