How Provigil interacts with other drugs?
Provigil is known to increase or decrease the liver activity. The liver is responsible for eliminating drugs from our system, so if liver activity changes, it might decrease the effectiveness of other medicines. If taken with other medicines, the body reaction should be very closely monitored.
If you take any kind of oral contraception, you might need to consider an alternative method of contraception, as Provigil might decrease the effectiveness as well.
Some medicines can increase the toxicity of Provigil, and it is still not known what are the interactions between this medicine and alcohol.
Provigil has a number of side effects, which are rare, and only happen in about 5 % of patients, so it is considered safe to use.
Trends of Provigil usage
There is no information about which regions use Provigi more, but we can try to make a few guesses
Which geographic regions have the highest Provigil use? Where do people use Provigil? What area would potentially use Provigil? Stress cities and white collar workers of New-York? There is no hard evidence to that.
It is fair to assume that young people like students, young professionals would be more likely using performance-boosting medicines. But Provigil is yet to reach its tipping point.
Provigil in the office enviroment
People who work long hours might look to Provigil to help them with the demanding jobs.
Coffee is used to be the fuel of the office, and many of us can not start a day without a caffeine intake, which is supposed to boost our energy level and increase productivity. The problem is that our body is getting used to caffeine, and it doesnt give us a desirable effect anymore.
Be careful, Provigil is not a miracle drug, and it’s got some side effects. Provigil will make people work harder and better, but it is not a quick fix, and it can not boost poor work performance.
