As of 4/6/12, Provigil was being distributed as a generic under Par Pharmaceuticals. I would think that this should bring the price substantially down. Ask for the generic.

actually guys that is the price for the generics..... From what i understand there was an agreement reached that allowed another companies to sell generic pro vigil but the main maker got a fee for allowing them to sell it ... un fortunately even the generic is 1050 us dollars for a 3 month supply

ok final verdict 1 month 832.00 for generic pro vigil.....WTF...... Nuvigil is half that price even though more expensive to make, and the company will give me the first Rx for free.....wouldnt it be nice to go back to the old way of doing things......

It doesn't make a ton of sense, but new generic drugs often have an "exclusivity" period for a single manufacturer and that is the case here. The period lasts 6 months and everyone cleans up on the drug during that period. But once it is over (~early October), the price should go down SIGNIFICANTLY, so hold tight!
