Armodafinil is a eugeroic medication used to treat sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and sleep apnea. Research shows it works by stimulating the brain’s chemical messengers. Another well-liked eugeroic, Modafinil, is the parent compound from which Armodafinil is derived. The latter is a more potent and refined form of Modafinil. Although both these drugs have shown heavy stats in their favor when it comes to treating the aforementioned disorders, neither can “cure” them. Those suffering can only expect to be more alert during the day, something that can improve their day-to-day lives, if not make them perfect.

Just because these drugs help you sleep better does not make them an ideal substitute for a good night’s rest. Similarly, taking this drug to stay awake unnecessarily falls under misuse and can have severe complications in the future. One shouldn’t ignore lifestyle changes the doctor recommends, along with ingesting these medicines. A doctor knows the best treatment plan based on your condition.
