  1. What are Modvigil side effects, benefits and correct dosage? Modvigil is said to stimulate wakefulness centers inside the human brain. This drug not only promotes mental acuity and boosts its processing speed but also enhances motivation, focus and energy. Modvigil is a generic Modafinil brand that is taken by people who suffer from hypopnea syndrome, sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Even people suffering from shift work disorders take this drug because it is said to improve alertness and mental energy. It also improves cognitive performance. This smart drug not only improves focus and concentration but it also has a mood-brightening effect on individuals who suffer from depression or anxiety. Compared to other central nervous system stimulants, Modvigil is different structurally. The withdrawal symptoms are less than other stimulants. Side Effects of Modvigil Even Modvigil side effects are few when compared to other stimulants. Some of the common Modvigil side effects are nausea and headache whereas some less common side effects include, sore throat, chest pain, shaking, anorexia, shortness of breath, frequent urination, uncontrollable facial movements, chills and fever. In case you experience any of the above-mentioned Modvigil side effects, make sure you contact your doctor immediately. You will not be experiencing life-threatening side effects of this drug but if effects like chest pain and heartburn or skin irritation persist, then let your doctor know about it. How to take Modvigil? The dosage is specified by the doctor, so make sure you don’t start taking this drug without consulting a medical expert. 200mg is the standard denomination that Modvigil is available in. The pill should be taken once per day, with or without food. It has been seen that even a 100mg tablet has the same effects as the 200mg tablet. If the doctor has asked you to take a 200mg tablet daily, don’t end up changing the dosage without consultation. Also, it is strongly recommended to take the pill on the same time daily. Don’t change the timings. When this drug is prescribed to narcoleptic patients, they are told to take the pill in the morning because its effect can last for the entire day. If you are suffering from shift work disorder, the doctor will prescribe you one pill on a daily basis that you need to take an hour before your shift starts. You need to speak to your doctor if your work shifts vary from day to day. When to avoid taking Modvigil? 1.It is not recommended to take this drug if you have a history of addiction or if you drink alcohol on a regular basis. 2.If you take medicines for other health conditions, then let your doctor know about it. This is because ingredients from those medicines can work against Modvigil and cause side effects. 3.Even people with a history of chest pains, cardiovascular issues or irregular heartbeats should avoid taking this medicine. 4.Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive or breastfeeding an infant are not allowed to take this drug either.
