    Dear mommacarter,

    We have no data on the transfer of armodafinil into breast milk, however looking at the pharmacokinetics of the drug it is likely. This medication is L4 on Dr. Hale's lactation scale. Methylphenidate is a suitable alternative for treatment of narcolepsy in breastfeeding.

    Sincerely,
