How strong of a stimulant is armodafinil?

    Armodafinil known as Waklert 150, is a mild stimulant that promotes waking. By altering dopamine and other neurotransmitters in the brain, it mostly improves alertness during the day without producing the severe jitteriness or fast heartbeat that come with harsher stimulants. It is sometimes used off-label for ADHD and is frequently recommended for narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder. When used under medical supervision, it is often better tolerated and has a lower risk of reliance because its stimulant effect is gentler than that of classic stimulants like amphetamines or methylphenidate.
