Shellie,
Anthony has taken adrafinil with an MAOI. You might want to ask him about it.
Shar,
Hydergine does not substitute for adrafinil. Hydergine, in general, is not an arousal agent like adrafinil. Like adrafinil it can improve cognition, but by a very different mechanism. I have tried hydergine and could say a lot more but I guess all that I need to say is that I don't think hydergine is what you are looking for.
I'm taking reboxetine now. It is in some ways similar to adrafinil. I get the reboxetine from overseas. I did not get a prescription from my psych. for it. I just went ahead and got it. I did however tell him that I was taking it so he would know what was going on with me and I could get his feedback.
If I decided to take adrafinil, I would start low and go slow just in case there were any drug interactions, however unlikely.
