Provigil

My PCP would like to prescribe me Provigil for work shift disorder. However, I am in a recovery program, and I get tested regularly. Anyone know if Recovery Trek tests for Prodigal or if I should worry about the addiction potential of the drug?

Is there anything in your contract which specifically prohibits the use of Provigil? What about the program orientation or other materials? You could also try your CM. My particular program lists which prescribed drugs are prohibited and which are allowed with an Addictionist management but this is also dependent on the contract and the program.

I was allowed to take Provigil off-label for depression. The addiction potential is very low. However I assume you have to tell the monitoring program per the rules set forth in your contract?

IPN will not let you take it, guaranteed. But, It won't show on a drug test.
