Does anyone know what the laws are about getting controlled substances like modafinil and ritalin for depression?
Do insurance companies tend to pay for them only if they are being used for the FDA-approved purposes? I don't think any controlled substance has been approved for depression, even though they are used for it.
One doctor said he would be arrested for prescribing ritalin! He was stupid in a lot of ways, though, and the pharmacist said that doctors can prescribe ritalin whenever they want to. I don't know what to think.
I want to try things like ritalin and modafinil, probably ritalin first because I guess modafinil is very expensive? Hope someone can answer these questions.
