Abstract
Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent that is known to be used off-label as a cognitive enhancer and for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).1 There are increasing case reports of Modafinil-induced psychosis; however, this is the first to report a patient with ADHD to develop psychosis from Modafinil use.
