Always keep in mind that the only information that most doctors have on meications is what the pharmeceutical salesman tells them.

I get my prescriptions filled at rxcareglobal.com. They're in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. To fill a prescription of Seroquel at the Costco pharmacy, It would cost me $650 per month at my dose. I can get the generic from the above website for $150 per month. For me it isn't just an alternative, it's the only way I can afford my pills on the crappy student health plan ($200 allowance per year for prescriptions). My doc has checked out the pills that I've been getting and has given me his full support.

I don't think you can get provigil from them though, or any generic version of it. Some drugs like stimulants and sleeping pills (lunesta, ambien) aren't available from them. Must have something to do with the class of drug and where it's going.
