for me but you have to be careful with this and take it the way it's prescribed because I guess it can cause GI bleed. It works well for me.

Are you prescribed that for a medical
condition or just take it to stay awake. I am just curious...not judging, lol.

It's quite a different world than previous. I think everyone has one or thing or another/S to be anxious about.
It's out of control, if you ask me. The world, that is.
My doc prescribed Elocon cream
for my dyshidrotic eczema, which really helps alleviate the itching. I first developed it when I was about to graduate college - a very stressful time - and I had it on both my hands and feet. The itching was very intense. I don't really get outbreaks anymore unless I use products that contain tocopheryl acetate - which is vitamin E - and most lotions have that. I can only use Curel original formula. Hopefully you can find what triggers yours and get some relief. 
My mother was just prescribed a cough
medicine that is $82 and the insurance will not pay as it is not on their formulary. Many are like this. Normally the pharmacy will let you know and if there is an equivalent they will call your doctor and see about getting it changed to something the insurance covers.
Has anyone ever been prescribed a medication that their insurance refused to pay for it?
