I believe armodafinil (Nuvigil), a sister drug of modafinil (Provigil), is in phase III clinical trials. Armodafinil is the r- enantiomer of modafinil in the same way Lexapro is the s- enantiomer of Celexa. I don't know what advantages there are to using this drug. The drug representative was pretty, though.

Probably not as pretty as the girls who 'advertise' oral contraceptives though ;-)

Same as Focalin to Ritalin - less side effects.

I think Cephalon will try to get an indication for ADHD with armodafinil.

Modafinal is going off patent soon isn't it? I have read that focalin is cleaner, almost like a different drug for some people. I personally had no side effects to speak of with either ritalin or provigil, lexapro had bothersome side effects.

Aren't they all?
