Provigil: “Viagra for the brain?”
The wakefulness medication used to treat narcolepsy and sleep apnea is being abused by those without such disorders.............
Provigil is being used by a number of highly successful individuals in the United States, who prefer not to be named, to maintain wakefulness throughout the day. Known as “Viagra for the brain,” Provigil is keeping busybodies working successfully for hours without sleep, according to ABC News.
“People have used it to try to get an edge at studying at school. It’s becoming like Ritalin where people are taking it that don’t have anything. But they’re using it to try to increase their alertness,” Dr. Philip Gehrman, Ph.D., CBSM, clinical director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Pennsylvania, told the Huffington Post.
Modafinil, the active ingredient in Provigil, is of the class of medications termed “wakefulness promoting agents.” According to the National Library of Medicine, the drug alters the natural chemicals in the region of the brain associated with sleep and wakefulness.
“I could not do this without Provigil. You know, it just wouldn’t be the same,” a lobbyist who wakes each morning at 5 a.m. to exercise before work said. “It’s amazing. . . . I just don’t get . . . why more people don’t know about it.”

Can a Pill Help You Succeed?
They are all around us, a secret society of the successful. They say what gives them an advantage, though, isn't just purposefulness or perseverance but a little secret weapon, a pill called Provigil.
There is the lobbyist, who wakes up at 5 a.m. to complete two full workouts before heading to work.
"I could not do this without Provigil. You know, it just wouldn't be the same," she told ABC News, asking that ABC News not identify her. "It's amazing. ... I just don't get ... why more people don't know about it."
John Withers, a computer programmer, can write code for 12 hours at a time.
"It helps you focus up for exceptionally long periods of time," he said.
And then there is the brain researcher who can find connections no one else is seeing. She asked that we not name her.
"It's just a clear day," she said. "The fog isn't there."
Provigil is approved only for narcolepsy, sleep apnea or for people who work irregular hours, but hidden among those who take it are pockets of healthy Americans taking it just to boost energy and enhance focus. It excites the mind so much that Provigil has been nicknamed "Viagra for the brain." .....................
