Side Effects from Provigil

Provigil is a medicine prescribed to people suffering from narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea, both serious sleep disorders. Narcolepsy results in a sufferer falling asleep unexpectedly. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when a person does not breath properly, causing interrupted sleep patterns and possibly suffocation in some severe cases. Provigil was first manufactured and broadly distributed in 1998 to help people suffering from these conditions by regulating sleep patterns and assisting patients in remaining awake during the day. 

Provigil may also be associated with serious side effects and even death. One such side effect that may result from Provigil use is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), a progressive and dangerous medical condition that presents itself as a seemingly harmless skin rash. Untreated, SJS may progress to a point where the skin literally peels off the body, presenting an immediate risk of infection. When the skin is perforated and unable to protect the body from infection, the victim may become very ill or may even lose his or her life.
