> A lot of folks really do well on Provigil, but insurance often does not cover off-label use for depression and it's expensive (well over $200/month in the US. I had high hopes for it and gave it a good long trial. It did not help my depressive symptoms - no more effect than a cup of coffee. It did not cause anxiety, but I was already taking Klonopin for that. Nothing seems to work for very long on my depression.
My doctor added a diagnosis of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and my insurance covered it. You could maybe ask the doctor and see what happens. I didn't have any noticable side effects at all.
