- 27182818284 16y agoI noticed that penicillins and ibuprofen can also be causes. Is Provigil more likely to do this than say, those two common drugs?
- haroldp 16y agoSJS is not well understood. Ibuprofen, the flu, herpes, cocaine, red #30. In HALF of the cases, the cause is totally unknown. Also, it sucks.
- adg 16y agoYet another Wikipedia article with graphic pictures that I agree should be there, but are not something I want to see while eating my morning bowl of cereal...
- schammy 16y agoHeh... agreed.
- billswift 16y agoIn August 2006 Cephalon unexpectedly received a 'non-approvable' letter from the FDA for modafinil tablets branded as Sparlon. Taken in this guise, modafinil was intended for the treatment of so-called attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. The FDA's rejection of modafinil/Sparlon for ADHD was based on a single adverse incident during clinical trials. One child developed a rash suggestive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome - a serious hypersensitivity complex affecting the skin and mucous membranes. There is no evidence that Stevens-Johnson syndrome is more common in adult modafinil users. The physician who diagnosed SJS in the affected 10 year old later recanted the diagnosis. http://www.modafinil.com/ http://www.modafinil.com/
