Modafinil is a prescribed medication that helps in the treatment of excessive daytime sleep disorder associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder. This medication belongs to schedule IV controlled substances and is under a different brand name, such as Modalert, Modvigil, Provigil, and others.  In Australia, a general practitioner can prescribe Modafinil if the GP is willing to sell it. There are many off-label uses of modafinil, such as treating ADHD, treating chronic fatigue syndrome, weight loss, and increasing cognition. This prescribed medication is legal in Australia, and Modafinil works by increasing the level of neurotransmitters that help enhance cognition, increase alertness and activeness, help in better focus, and many more.
