Use of Modafinil in Psychiatric Disorders

Year 2016, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 42 - 51, 23.01.2016

Abstract

Modafinil, is a psychostimulant drug with neurochemical and behavourial effects, distinct from those of amphetamine. It is used to treat patients with narcolepsy and other excessive sleepiness. Modafinil has dopaminergic, noradrenergic, histaminergic, glutamergic, serotonergic and GABAergic interac-tions. It is also shown that modafinil has neuroprotective effects via antioxidative mechanisms. Besides modafinil shows initial promise for a variety of off-label indications in psychiatry, including bipolar disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia. The aim of this article is to review the literature on clinical use of modafinil in psychiatric disorders.

Psikiyatrik Bozukluklarda Modafinil Kullanımı

Year 2016, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 42 - 51, 23.01.2016

Abstract

Modafinil narkolepsi ve diğer gündüz uykululuğu yapan hastalıklarda kullanılan amfetaminden farklı nörokimyasal ve davranışsal özellikleri olan psikostimulan bir ilaçtır. Modafinilin dopaminerjik, histaminerjik, noradrenerjik glutamaterjik, GABAerjik ve serotoninerjik etkileşimleri vardır. Ayrıca antioksidatif mekanizmalar aracılığıyla nöroprotektif etkilerinin olduğu da gösterilmiştir. Bunun yanında modafinil; bipolar bozukluk, dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu ve şizofreni gibi psikiyatrik hastalıklarda endikasyon dışı kullanımıyla ilgili gelecek vaadetmektedir. Bu derlemede modafinilin psikiyatrik hastalıklarda klinik kullanımın ele alınması amaçlanmıştır.
