Is Modafinil Effective In Improving Concentration And Attention?

I am interested in the benefits of Modafinil during a particularly busy tax season, when concentration and focus is a must. I ve been doing this a long time and every year gets busier. My objective is to stay focused and bright. To do more work in the same amount of time.

Hello,

Modafinil medication usually not used to increase the concentration even though it is acting by stimulating the brain by an unknown mechanism.

So, use Modafinil is case of:
1. Shift work sleep disorder
2. Narcolepsy: is a chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord characterized most commonly by a recurrent, uncontrollable desire to sleep
3. Obstructive sleep apnea

So, do not use any drug until you consult your physician. Please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
