Nuvigil is just a way for Cephalon to keep making money. Most people I know would say Provigil is the superior product. Alertec is the Canadian generic and is the same quality as Provigil. There are a lot of Canadian pharmacies that can sell it to you if you have a doctor's script.
Provigil is not like an amphetamine. Amphetamines like Adderall and Dexedrine are generally the drugs of choice for ADD. They are cheap but if you take large quantities, they have nasty effects.

Provigil is classified as a stimulant by most doctors, but it is not approved in the US for ADD. More is known about the long term effects of the usual ADD stimulants than Provigil, which has not been around as long.
ADD meds are not cheap in the US, maybe else where.

Provigil is used off label for ADD, studies have confirmed that its effects on ADD are comparable to tradtional meds like Adderall. You can look it up for yourself. It does improve attention and focus, but its FDA approved for Narcolepsy and EDS.
Provigil in the US is expensive, Alertec which is the Canadian version is less expensive. Amphetamines like Adderall and Dexedrine are much cheaper than Provigil, those meds have generics. A month's supply of generic Adderall is around a 1 dollar a pill while Provigil is 10 dollars a pill.

I did not say Provigil was not effective for ADD, I said it was not specifically for approved for that in the US because a the FDA though it may cause a serious skin condition in some people. You can look that up too.
Also there only have been at most two studies that compared Provigil to ADD meds and it did not perform any better. I would love to see a comparison against Focalin.
My point was is you have two drugs that have about the same efficacy, then it makes sense to choose the one that has been studied more. They have been giving young children MPH for decades and have looked again at them when they are 40 and found no significant negative long-terms effects.
Maybe modafinil is safer, but right now there is not long term data that suggests this is the case.
Yeah Provigil is very expensive, which is why I will wait til it is generic to try. Unfortunately due to our crappy health care system all those drugs all fairly expensive

Having used both Nuvigil and Provigil my opinion is that Nuvigil is just a wee bit better than Provigil,sorry folks but it's just a very small difference in "effects" between either the racemic mixture and the isolated isomer, unlike other stuff....modafinil is just too subtle for real difference.
PS: Now the difference between adrafinil and modafinil----there was a difference!
