Modafinil as the best psycho stimulator for brain

What is Modafinil and how does it act on a human body?

Modafinil is the psycho stimulant that has a specific effect on the higher integrative functions of the human brain. The given drug improves the functions of memory, facilitates the process of studying and stimulates brain’s intellectual activity. In periods of different researches and sales of the medicine it showed no significant side effects, except for mild nausea and sometimes headache. Nowadays, the drug has proved its safety and efficiency in more cases than classic caffeine or even widely-used amphetamines.

The drug causes no addiction and does not cause any euphoria (or buzz) from its reception, so that psychological addiction to its components is absent or quite unlikely. Compared to other psycho stimulants of mobilizing type, Generic Modafinil (also famous as Alertec, Provigil and Modalert) does not cause agitation, exhaustion of functional capabilities of the human organism. There is also no habituation and addiction. It is used in bodybuilding to suppress the appetite and burn fat while also improving efficiency and performance of the training.

Does Modafinil really cause addiction?

On March 17, «Journal of the American Medical Association» published unexpected conclusion of US researchers, who conducted some tests in the course of the study of the drug produced by «Cephalon Inc.», informs news agency «Bloomberg». It turned out that the so-called smart pill became widespread due to the effective increase in mental performance, so it can be addictive.

Research, initiated by the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), which is the part of the National Institute of Health, showed that Modafinil affects the brain by the same chemicals that Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride, «Novartis») and amphetamines. Using positron emission tomography on 10 volunteers who were taking the drug, it was detected increased levels of dopamine in the so-called pleasure centers, in the site of brain tissue, which unites the centers that participate in the formation of positive emotional experiences.

These figures are typical for chemical compounds that can cause addiction, says director and lead author of this study Nora Volkow. Special concern of scientists causes the fact that the drug is available for usage off label for healthy people to enhance their intellectual activity. So you can buy Modafinil at any drugstore of the US, Australia and Europe due to your own purposes. There are also many reliable online pharmacies where you can order Modafinil online and it will be delivered right to your front door.

Stimulating the nervous system drug can be and is addictive, say in the NIDA and put it on a par with such antidepressants  as Prozac (fluoxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline). Modafinil, which has received approval for marketing as a drug for the treatment of sleep disorders by narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and the schedule of shift workers, has become a best-seller of «Cephalon Inc.» company and brought its creators 988 million dollars.

Jeffry Vaught, the chief scientific director of the company «Cephalon Inc.», calls the action of the drug on the "pleasure centers" insignificant and therefore he thinks that the medication does not lead to the formation of addiction. That is interesting, that in the III quarter of the year there is scheduled a launch in prolonged form with the same active ingredient as in Modafinil, which will be called Nuvigil (Armodafinil) and will be marketed by «Frazer», based in Pennsylvania (USA).
