Hi
Nuvigil is a medicine advised for sleep apnea and narcolepsy. If the cost is high, then you may ask your doctor to provide a prescription for lower cost medicine.
The best treatment for sleep apnea is Continuous positive airway pressure. It is usually prescribed for the obstructive type of sleep apnea. Check with your doctor if this is a good choice for you.
