150 mg contaiArtvigil (Armodafinil) 150mgns Armodafinil, a wakefulness-promoting agent that is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness caused by conditions like narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder.

Quick Facts

How It Works

Armodafinil is the R-enantiomer of Modafinil, meaning it’s the “active” half responsible for most of Modafinil’s effects — but it’s:

• Stronger milligram-for-milligram

• Longer-lasting (12–14 hours vs. ~10 for Modafinil)

• More gradual and smooth in onset

It boosts dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine, and orexin activity — helping you stay awake, alert, and focused.

• Timing:

  • Morning (for general alertness or narcolepsy)

  • ~1 hour before night shift (SWSD)

• Onset: ~1 hour

• Duration: 12–14 hours

• Avoid late-day dosing — may interfere with sleep

• Reduced fatigue and brain fog

• Boosted productivity

• No crash or jittery feeling like traditional stimulants

Side Effects

• Headache

• Insomnia

• Dizziness

• Nausea

• Dry mouth

• Mild anxiety or irritability (less common than with stimulants)

Warnings & Interactions

• Reduces hormonal birth control effectiveness — use backup contraception

• Use with caution if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or anxiety disorders

• Don’t combine with alcohol, MAOIs, or certain antidepressants

• Rare: Serious rash or allergic reactions (discontinue if this happens)

Summary

Artvigil 150 mg is a smooth, long-lasting cognitive enhancer that promotes wakefulness without the harshness of traditional stimulants. Ideal for those who need sustained focus with fewer side effects or for people sensitive to Modafinil.
