Nikki found a drug called Modafinil, my friend WEBMD Helped me out here:


Modafinil decreases extreme sleepiness due to narcolepsy and other sleep disorders such as difficult/irregular breathing during sleep (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome-OSAHS). It is also used to help you stay awake during work hours for people with work schedules that interfere with a normal sleep routine (shift work sleep disorder-SWSD).

It is not known how modafinil works to increase wakefulness. It is thought to work by affecting certain chemicals in the brain that control the sleep/wake cycle. Modafinil does not make up for lack of sleep and should not be used to treat tiredness or hold off sleep in people who do not have a sleep disorder.

How to use Modafinil Oral
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before your start using modafinil and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once daily in the morning or as directed by your doctor. If you are using modafinil for shift work sleep disorder, take this medication 1 hour before you start your work shift or as directed by your doctor. If you are using this for apnea (OSAHS), continue your other current treatment (e.g., CPAP machine) unless your doctor tells you to stop.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Use this medication exactly as prescribed to get the most benefit from it.

Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction/habit forming). Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed. Properly stop this medication when so directed. This will lessen the chances of becoming addicted.

Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

What conditions does this medication treat?

Modafinil Oral is used to treat the following:

Sleepiness Due To Shift Work Sleep Disorder, Recurring Sleep Episodes During the Day, Sleepiness Due To Obstructive Sleep Apnea






I don't think this is the drugs given to DBJ, Because they all seemed very sleepy..Maybe this is a drug that the order is taking, to give them the ability to stay awake longer??

Hi, Cobra, and welcome to the forum.

There is a thread about this in Daniel in-character chat, in which Daniel actually asks us for help with this. Maybe you should check that thread out.
