Shar, I don't know really if it could be considered equivalent since some people seem to respond to adrafinil better, but yes, provigil is an approved, available, and expensive prescription drug in the U.S.
Btw, ritalin does work well as augmentation for lots of people, you might want to try it first--you'll know in a short time if it works. Shellie
