Provigil – Modafinil Information

Last term, during Dead Week, a friend of mine had an exceptional amount of work to do. A paper due for this class, a project for that class, work until 10 p.m. – one night he realized it was physically impossible to finish everything he was supposed to.

So, he took Adderall – something he’d never done before – and suddenly the impossible was possible. With sleep the last thing on his mind, he cranked out paper after paper (three in all) and even made it to class on time. He didn’t get outstanding grades on the Adderall-fueled assignments, but he certainly passed.

All in all, he would probably tell you the $5 for a pill and increased heart rate were worth it.

In my quest for the latest news and views regarding provigil use as a cognitive enhancer I travel along the highways and by-ways of the Internet reading what others have to say about how they use provigil, or one of its many generic variants.

The company that makes Provigil, Cephalon Inc., has decided to not market the drug for AD/HD (it was to be marketed under the name Sparlon).

Provigil is authorized by the FDA for daytime sedation related to narcolepsy and to treat sedation from changing shifts at work, and has been found useful in potentiating the effects of antidepressants. Several studies found Sparlon effective for AD/HD in approximately 50% of children, adolescents, and adults.

Since Sparlon works on different neurotransmitters than traditional stimulants used to treat AD/HD, it is sometimes effective for people who don’t respond to other stimulants. It is also not a controlled drug and refills are permitted.

Sparlon was awaiting approval from the FDA. Unfortunately, the FDA advisory panel recommended “non-approval” because of concerns over the possibility of a rare but serious rash, and recommended the drug company conduct a 3,000-patient clinical trial to rule out its occurrence. Cephalon decided to not proceed with additional studies.
