What's the difference between Armodafinil and Modafinil?
Modafinil contains Armodafinil.
Should you use Armodafinil?
One thing that is certain about the effects of Armodafinil is that we know relatively little about them. There is a lack of high-quality research, especially in healthy humans.
Because of the lack of research on Armodafinil, we never recommend that people use it.
If you have already decided to use it, here are some guidelines to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks.
How much and how often should you use Armodafinil?

What time of day should you take Armodafinil?
If you are going to take Armodafinil, take it in the morning as early as possible after wake-up to minimize negative effects on sleep, considering its stimulatory effects.
What substances may stack well with Armodafinil?
There's no high-quality research on the effects of combining Armodafinil with other substances, such as nootropic drugs or supplements. The safety and efficacy of the below-listed combinations are supported only by anecdotal reports.
People tend to report better effects from Armodafinil when they also use:
Before combining any drugs or supplements, talk with your trusted medical professional about the risks involved.
How does Armodafinil work?
The mechanisms of action of Armodafinil have not yet been fully discovered by researchers.
Scientists have found that Armodafinil may exert the following neurobiological effects:
It is also very likely that Armodafinil shares many mechanisms of action with Modafinil.
How fast does Armodafinil reach peak concentrations in the blood and how long is its half-life?
Armodafinil has essentially the same pharmacokinetic profile as Modafinil, meaning it moves very similarly in the body upon ingestion. It is one of two parts of Modafinil!
Modafinil has the following pharmacokinetic profile:
"After single or multiple oral doses, modafinil is readily absorbed, reaching maximum plasma concentrations at 2-4 hours after administration and pharmacokinetic steady state within 2-4 days. Its pharmacokinetics are dose-independent between 200 and 600 mg/day. The elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours ..." [9]
