Antipsychotic augmentation with modafinil or armodafinil for negative symptoms of schizophrenia: A Review

People with schizophrenia frequently complain of fatigue and excess sleep, especially when on medications. One medication that might help is Modafinil the drug that helps you stay awake - especially in the mornings. Here is a study that looked at this: “We conclude that ar/mod (200 mg/day) is safe and well tolerated in the short-term treatment of schizophrenia. Ar/mod reduces negative symptoms with a small effect size; the absolute advantage is also small, and the advantage disappears when chronically ill patients or those with high negative symptom burden are treated. Ar/mod does not benefit or worsen other symptom dimensions in schizophrenia.”
