How helpful is provigil?

Usually effective: Like all medications Provigil (modafinil) works better for some people than it does for others, and there are some people for whom it may not work at all. However, in my experience, it has been a highly effective medication for most people with excessive fatigue. It is indicated for excessive sleepiness caused by sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift work, but it is used off label in many ways.

Good drug: It works selectively in the frontal cortex increasing norepi(primary signal)and dopamine( lowers background noise)helpful for many off label issues.Dr. Stahl has it first line in adult add, can help with mood, fatigue due to ms, chemo, post stroke rehab. Low chance of increasing blood pressure, low abuse potential, can cause ha's in about 10%, less for nuvigil, but many have gotten good results.
