Remember, Armodafinil does not cure narcolepsy, OSA or SWSD; it just palliates the symptoms of this condition. The drug is not for anyone under 17 years of age. The FDA approved Armodafinil for treating narcolepsy in 1998. This chemical belongs to the class of drugs called “schedule IV controlled substance” in the United States and Australia. Armodafinil Generic is much cheaper and easily available than the brand version.
The precise working mechanism of armodafinil in treating narcolepsy, OSA or SWSD is unknown or unclear. However, it is presumed that it promotes wakefulness by enhancing the production of certain neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) that manage your sleep-wake cycle. It works on boosting secretion of neurotransmitters – such as dopamine, orexin, serotonin, norepinephrine, GABA, and histamine, which play an important role in managing your sleep-wake cycle.
Besides promoting wakefulness, armodafinil increases the locomotor activity. It is known to have psychoactive and euphoric effects, which is why it boosts your mood, concentration, motivation, perception, feeling, and thinking just like other psychostimulants. Although it has some action like that of stimulants, it does no cause an addiction, which means you are less likely to develop drug dependence even after using it for an extended period.
The above mentioned side effects are some if the common side effects of armodafinil. See your doctor immediately or visit your nearest ED if you notice that these side effects do not subside. Also. get medical attention if you experience chest pain, breathlessness, allergic reactions, or swelling of the face.
After feeling drained and sleepy 24/7 for a month, I took Armodafinil and found it very effective. I’m taking 150 mg and feel pretty alert now. I can take it and stay awake for a certain period of time without feeling tired. I’m happy armodafinil generic is working for me.
