modafinil is often prescribed to people who suffer from narcolepsy
and obstructive sleep apnea.
Moreover, recent studies and reviews have shown that modafinil
may have a positive effect on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) [ 1 ][ 3 ]. In particular, compared to the prior way of treatment
that includes the mixture of amphetamine and
dextroamphetamine, modafinil has a milder impact and may be
even more effective [ 4 ][ 5 ].
One more detail that makes this medication quite popular among
patients is that its action continues up to 15 hours. Thus, those who
are treated with modafinil can be active during the whole day and
the sleep quality won’t worsen.

Depending on the case, the dosage and the way of how it can be
taken may vary. However, never start any treatment course without
seeing your doctor first. Only healthcare providers can prescribe
correct dosage that is suitable for your case only. Still you may be
interested in what are common cases where a particular dose is
prescribed.
- The treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or narcolepsy is
usually followed by taking modafinil-containing medication. One
modafinil 200 mg pill in the morning is enough to make you stay
awake for the whole day.
