Why would a psychiatrist prescribe Modvigil?

[Amelia Martin]

Modvigil 200mg may be prescribed by a psychiatrist for disorders including excessive daytime drowsiness or cognitive impairment. When other therapies (such CPAP) are not completely successful, it is frequently used to treat narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, or excessive daytime drowsiness in patients with sleep apnea. When a patient wants to stay awake or fight fatigue, modvigil can help since it increases alertness and improves focus.
