Provigil: Heart Palpitations, Other Heart Problems

Posted by IsoM on April 1, 2002, at 21:04:32

I started to do a search for past posters, but then got lazy & figured I'd just post this as a new thread. I felt anyone having heart-related problems on Provigil would notice the subject line & take an interest. There's a few who've experienced chest pains & palpitations on Provigil & realised I'd read about this before at RxList.com

Here's from Warnings & Precautions:

"In clinical studies of PROVIGIL, signs and symptoms including chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea and transient ischemic T-wave changes on ECG were observed in three subjects in association with mitral valve prolapse or left ventricular hypertrophy. It is recommended that PROVIGIL tablets not be used in patients with a history of left ventricular hypertrophy or ischemic ECG changes, chest pain, arrhythmia or other clinically significant manifestations of mitral valve prolapse in association with CNS stimulant use. Modafinil has not been evaluated or used to any appreciable extent in patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina, and such patients should be treated with caution.

Modafinil has not been systematically evaluated in patients with hypertension. Periodic monitoring of hypertensive patients may be appropriate."

It might be a good idea to bring this to your doctor's attention & have it checked out.
