50 mg/day armodafinil

Armodafinil or placebo was provided in 50 mg tablet form and subjects were instructed to take 4 tablets orally once daily in the morning. Subjects randomized to the 50 mg/day armodafinil treatment arm for the double-blind treatment period of the study took one 50 mg armodafinil tablet plus three placebo tablets each morning.

100 mg/day armodafinil

Armodafinil or placebo was provided in 50 mg tablet form and subjects were instructed to take 4 tablets orally once daily in the morning. Subjects randomized to the 100 mg/day armodafinil treatment arm for the double-blind treatment period of the study took two 50 mg armodafinil tablets plus two placebo tablets each morning. Subjects began taking 50 mg/day and then titrated to 100 mg/day on Day 2 of the first week of the double-blind treatment period.

200 mg/day armodafinil

Armodafinil or placebo was provided in 50 mg tablet form and subjects were instructed to take 4 tablets orally once daily in the morning. Subjects randomized to the 200 mg/day armodafinil treatment arm for the double-blind treatment period of the study took four 50 mg armodafinil tablet and no placebo tablets each morning. Subjects were titrated to this dose by starting treatment at 50 mg/day (1 tablet) and increasing by 50 mg increments on days 2, 4, and 6 until they were taking 200 mg/day.
