Treats Addiction

For people seeking safe and effective alternative solutions to drug addiction, modafinil can provide long-term solution. Results from several clinical trials show that modafinil is beneficial in treating different types of addiction:
1. In patients with alcohol dependence, a single dose of 200 mg of modafinil improved impulsive decision making. [142]
2. In cocaine-dependent patients, modafinil administration at 400 mg per day reduced self-reported and behavioral impulsivity. [143]
3. In pathological gamblers, modafinil administration at 200 mg per day decreased desire to gamble, salience of gambling words, disinhibition and risky decision-making. [144]
4. In methamphetamine-dependent patients, modafinil treatment significantly reduced craving or severity of dependence. [145]
5. In rats, modafinil administration completely prevented opiate-seeking behavior. [146]
