Adrafinil is the generic name of Olmifon, a med that can only be gotten in Europe (I order it on-line). It's closely related to Provigil (modafinil). In fact, one of the main metabolites (what the liver breaks down drugs into) of adrafinil is modafinil. They're grouped as stimulants but not in the way normal stimulants work.
Those are the only two drugs in a new class of medication called eugeroics, meaning "good arousal". Their mode of action's not clearly understood as they don't seem to target specific neurotransmitters but do seem to boost over-all brain metabolism.
It's still a mystery how they work. All I can say for a certainty is, adrafinil works very well for me. The "popcorn's still popping", but not as wildly when I take adrafinil & the "bar of soap" is a little easier to hold on to.
