Provigil is structurally different from other central nervous system stimulants. Its mechanism is unknown but is different from traditional dopaminergic and catecholaminergic-enhancing stimulant drugs.
Provigil does not have the number of withdrawal problems that other stimulants have, and withdrawal effects are not as severe. Neither are negative side effects as typically bad. Provigil is not as strong as other stimulants such as Ritalin, for most people.
The United States FDA has classified Provigil a Schedule IV drug (low abuse potential).
2.6 millions Provigil prescriptions were written in 2006.
