Modafinil is relatively side effects free? Are there any studies of long-term modafinil use effects?

With long-term use Stevens–Johnson syndrome is a risk.

I'm not a doctor, but is SJS a long-term risk of *afinil?

Or is it the symptom of a drug sensitivity that some people have and some people don't?

All the research I did indicated that it was an extremely rare reaction that certain people would have, not that it was a result of long-term use.
