> *always searching for the perfect fix*Hello my friend,
Please don't thank me: you ARE the number 1 storyteller in all PB. I've even been looking up for recent posts of yours...
But to-day I'd like to speak about the adrafinil. I am aware you already tried modafinil (= Provigil) and 'it was very agitating' to you, but I've read the translations of the (French) inserts of the two drugs into English and I think one can safely assume one pill (100mg) of modafinil is worth in strength two pills (2x300mg) of 'adrafinil' so the amount I'm proposing to you (1 pill = 300mg of adrafinil at wake-up or breakfast) is just a little more than 'symbolic'. So please maintain all drugs you are used to and feel comfortable with and just add the adrafinil preferably at the begining of a stress-free day (I for myself always choose Fri., Sat. & Sun. or only two of these in sequence) and just tell me whether you felt any difference. If you are like me you'd perhaps better augment the dose of your sleeping-aid pill (I for myself just add 1/2 pill of Ambien (here called 'Stilnox') i.e. 5mg at bedtime). I feel a little 'break' in the effect of the adrafinil 4 or 5 hours after I took it but that ONLY during the first day and also am surprised to feel a gentle (welcome) extra stimulation each time a take a banal cup of coffee which habitually makes me feel nothing at all. Voila.Love and luck,
IagoP.S. The daily dose of adrafinil recommended by the manufacturers of the drug (Lafon, France) is 2-4 pills (one pill = 300mg.), so feel free to up if you like. Enjoy. Still, adrafinil is 6 times cheaper than modafinil!! I.
