Brand name: Provigil. I have bipolar I & have been on Provigil for about 8 or even more years & have found it EXTREMELY HELPFUL & can't imagine life without it. I'm so happy my provider is up on the newest drug treatments as she put me on it very early on & actually convinced my ins. co. to cover it by supplying them with the literature about its usefulness in treating bipolar when it was first being tried for this condition. Hope it helps you as much as it did me.
