Provigil is chemically distinct from traditional stimulants. Officially it is an Alpha 1-adrenergic agonist(also known as a 'engeroic drug') It is believed to increase the receptiveness of the brains alpha-1 receptors to the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, boosting alertness, memory and energy. Clinical trials (a small number) suggest it also has memory-improving and mood brightening effects. Provigal targets very specific regions of the brain believed to regulate 'normal wakefulness.'
