Modafinil is used to increase wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness, including those with shift-work sleep disorder (SWSD). It acts without disrupting nighttime sleep. It is embryotoxic in laboratory animals and therefore is contraindicated during pregnancy. It can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. In rare cases it has been linked to serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, and toxic epidermal necrolysis.

This patient is showing characteristics of panic disorder. All three major classes of antidepressants are effective, but selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are first-line drugs.

Tricyclic antidepressants are second-line drugs, and their use is recommended only after a trial of at least one SSRI has failed.
