Please describe a good prescription drug to get rid of sleepiness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Provigil: Provigil (generic- modafinil) is used for sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. It is taken during the day to promote wakefulness. You should see your doctor and be evaluated as to why you are so tired. You could have a sleep disorder or some other illness, such as hypothyroidism, that could be causing the problem. It is best to fix the underlying problem rather than put a bandaid on it.
