Modafinil (Provigil) is a CNS stimulant medication. I cover modafinil pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more on this podcast episode.

You should be aware that modafinil is a Schedule 4 controlled substance so it does carry a risk of dependence and addiction.

Modafinil can cause CYP3A4 induction and lead to lowering the concentrations of many medications. This includes antiepileptic agents and oral contraceptives.

The most common adverse effects of modafinil include ramping up the body and causing symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia.

Cardiovascular changes are a risk with modafinil as this medication can contribute to hypertension and tachycardia.
