FYI, I have been taking Provigil (about 2oomg/prn) for about a year.
Recently, I had a complete physical exam for a new job I took--and my liver enzymes were slightly--but noticably--elavated. Both sgot and alt.
I abstained from Provigil, had a hep C test, which was negative, and retested my enzymes in a month. Both readings were back to normal.
Modafinil was hailed as the first new antinarcoleptic in decades--and one that wasn't hard on the liver.
Anyone taking it would do well to have periodic liver function bloodwork done. Pemoline was supposed to be easy on the liver too...
