> > I was going to post a question this morning to ask how people who have taken both Provigil and adrafinil would compare them. I am sitting here with a prescription for Provigil in my pocket, but my gut is telling me not to fill it. Based upon what I see written here, I am inclined to try adrafinil. I need something. It's getting harder for me to read and post things, let alone live well and function. I feel a rant coming on. I think I'll "stuff" it for now, though.

If adrafinil were available in the U.S. (where I live), the decision would be a no-brainer. I would love to here of people who have had the type of great success with Provigil as is described for adrafinil. So far, I have only seen one person describe such a positive experience with Provigil.

> - ScottHi Scott. Rick had really good luck with provigil, so it seems worth trying, especially since you already have the prescription. When I actually asked the question on the board-- who had had success with adrafinal, only JohnL. had already had really positive results. A few others, were thinking of taking it, or had just started it, but I was surprised that JohnL (at that time) was the only person who has unequivically said yes, because there had been so many postings about it. Most of the postings on the board about adrafinil so far have just been interest and questions. So besides Karen B. who I quess is on her fifth day, and one other person --I'm trying to remember who--who was inconclusive yet, I think we're looking at a N of 1 each, of success of provigial and adrafinil. shellie
