Shellie,

Hi Anthony. You are the other person who I forgot was taking adrafinil. My apologies. There are alot of new names for me, and I looked for your post, but couldn't find it in this large maze of posts.Unfortunately, my pdoc has the medication name right. I faxed her the English translation that Adam was so kind to post. Under mechanisms of action it says:
1. principal
stimulant, central nervous system alpha-I adrenergic agonist. Causes release of serotonin and dopamine at high doses.Then later under dosage and administration it says: Usual dose in 600 to 1200 a day.
I don't see where it defines high doses, so it may above 600; I don't know.You've been on it for a while, right? And no problem so far? Maybe you're fine at the dose you're taking it. I would write to the manufacturer and ask some questions. Actually, I would probably call the company who sent you the adrafinil first and ask them to look into it for you--since they must have a direct link to the manufacturer, or at least ask them how you would proceed to get more information.
I'm going to try ridalin with nardil, but if it's not successful, I may try really digging into any info about adrafinil--like what is a "high dose". So far, do you feel an improvement? Are you feeling any side effects? shellie
