is armodafinil used to treat multiple sclerosis exhaustion
Updated October 30, 2014. Neither had I until a friend with multiple sclerosis (who sees the same neurologist that I do) called me to tell me that it had changed her life.. Nuvigil (armodafinil) is a derivative of Provigil (modafinil), which many people with MS take to combat MS-related fatigue. My ears perked up at the excitement in my friend's voice. She went on to tell me that she couldn't tolerate Provigil, as it left her too wakeful to sleep at night.
