By what mechanism would provigil stimulate the heart/sympathetic nervous system? And how does this compare to the sympathomimetics?
I realize the peripheral stimulation of provigil is supposed to be minimal (one of its advantages), but it does seem to activate the sympathetic system.
Could provigil possibly cause release of epinephrine and epinephrine from the adrenals?
Thanks Zeugma for the excellent references.
