Artvigil contains an active drug Armodafinil, a prescription drug intended to boost wakefulness during your work hours, especially if you have work scheduled, keeping you from having excessive sleep. Artvigil is highly effective for those who have shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).

Armodafinil does not cure the symptoms of sleep disorders. It will not treat insomnia. Artvigil does not treat fatigue or narcolepsy in people without sleep disorders. It is not clearly understood how the smart drug works to keep you awake. However, it is believed that it works by releasing certain neurotransmitters, or brain chemicals, which manage or control the sleep and wake cycle.

The exact mechanism of Artvigil in promoting wakefulness is unknown. It has a wake-promoting effect similar to the sympathomimetic agents. It is believed that this nootropic agent acts on the CNS to affect certain brain chemicals that control the sleep cycle. You should carefully read the instructions before you start taking Artvigil.

If you have any issues related to dosage and instructions, ask your doctor. People with narcolepsy must take this smart drug orally with or without food. Usually, it is to be taken once a day, preferably in the morning.

This smart drug helps most people but it may sometimes cause addiction, although rare. The risk could be higher in people with substance abuse disorder. So, one must take Artvigil exactly as directed by a doctor.

Drug or medicinal interactions may change the drug’s working or may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about the medications you have been taking before taking Artvigil. Certain medicines may interact with this brain health drug, such as methamphetamine, MDMA, or ecstasy.

Remember, this nootropic can decrease the efficacy of oral contraceptive pills, patches, or rings. So, discuss with your medical provider if you use contraception while taking Artvigil. Also, inform your medical providers if you have issues like easy bleeding before the treatment.

Artvigil may speed up the elimination of other drugs from the body, affecting how they act or work. For instance, caffeine, along with Artvigil tablets, could increase the risk of side effects, especially extreme wakefulness. So, avoid drinking coffee or taking OTC meds containing caffeine. Artvigil is quite similar to Provigil. So, do not take these medications together.

If you have overdosed and experienced any serious unwanted symptoms like breathlessness or dizziness, call your doctor. The signs and symptoms of overdose may include fast/irregular pulse, severe restlessness, or hallucinations.

If you skip or miss doses, take them as soon as you remember. Do not take the skipped/missed dose along with the subsequent dose. Do not increase the dose to compensate for the missed/skipped dose. Avoid taking any missed dose just close to bedtime; this could it harder to go to sleep later. Do not use Artvigil for recreational purposes.

Artvigil is indeed one of the best smart drugs and nootropic agents. Make sure you use it exactly as recommended by a medical professional.
