Paradoxical Posted April 17, 2012 Hi there everyone, does anyone know of a relaxed doctor in melbourne? I want to get a prescription to modafinil, as i often fall asleep at work etc. My doctor didn't really believe me and didn't give me anything, i feel that the uni ones are just trying to get the bulk bills pushed through! Although i have now been referred to the alfred hospital to do sleep tests. What i am worried about is that the tests will not be covered under medicare and that I will not be able to afford them, as I have heard from a few sources that it can be around $400. I am currently studying full time and working part time and don't have much money to splash around. I have tried using modafinil before and it really helped me stay alert during work. So basically does anyone know of a doctor that is a bit more accommodating? any hints/advice is greatly appreciated. P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tipz Posted April 22, 2012 I have a close friend who went to a sleep clinic for a similar reason. She was diagnosed with narcolepsy and prescribed dexamphetamine ( 40mg per day ) Well worth the costs involved IMO. I have tried modafinil and ritalin before and find D5's to be far superior ( but then again I have ADHD not narcolepsy ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
