How Does Modafinil Work?

The mode of action of Modafinil for narcolepsy and other sleeping disorders is not clear yet. It is a weak dopamine reuptake inhibitor due to which it has a low affinity for serotonin and norepinephrine transporters. So, the concentration of serotonin and norepinephrine increases the extracellular dopamine in the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus.

Other psycho-stimulant medications like amphetamine or cocaine cause euphoria, whereas Modafinil does not cause euphoria. This drug is considered an alertness and wakefulness-promoting drug, which is also called eugeroic.  

It is classified as the central nervous system or CNS stimulant which may impact nerve cells (neurotransmitters) like hypocretin and orexin. Orexin plays an important role in encouraging wakefulness, so Modafinil increases the signals in the hypothalamic orexin pathway, which finally causes wake-promoting effects.
