Armodafinil
medication Under reviewA wakefulness-promoting agent used to treat excessive sleepiness associated with certain sleep disorders.
Research summary
The healthiest-human evidence base for armodafinil is strongest for wakefulness, sustained attention, and vigilance, especially in sleep-deprived settings. Multiple randomized studies in healthy volunteers found improved wakefulness and reduced reaction-time lapses versus placebo, and pharmacokinetic work shows a long half-life with sustained daytime exposure after morning dosing. Adverse effects in healthy subjects are usually mild to moderate and include headache, nausea, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, insomnia, and occasional increases in blood pressure or palpitations. Overall, the evidence supports a real but targeted benefit for alertness and vigilance, not broad cognitive enhancement across all domains.
