Provigil® is a prescription medicine that is used to promote wakefulness in people with sleep apnea, shift work sleep disorder, or narcolepsy. While it's known that the medication does not work like other stimulants, it is currently not understood exactly how the drug works for treating excessive sleepiness.
 
Provigil tablets are available in two strengths and are generally taken once daily. However, the drug is not for everyone. Before starting Provigil, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you have kidney disease, heart problems, high blood pressure, or any allergies. While most people tolerate the medication well, potential side effects include nausea, nervousness, and headache.
