[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 15229, member: 1498"] Last March the FDA denied approval because, it is thought, of Stevens-Johnson, the rare but potenially fatal rash. There are some who think the Phase III tests weren't as convincing as the manufacturer claims. The Wiki article on Modafinil explains the reasearch resuts. [ QUOTE ] ADHD (off label indication) As of October 2006, there are approximately four English-language articles on randomized clinical trials in humans in the Medline database addressing the use of modafinil for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Cognitive function in ADHD patients may also improve following modafinil treatment, in some studies.
