Jacquie - I am not even sure if adrafinil is even being tested in Canada (I think it is in the U.S.). It seems us Canucks use the rest of the world (esp. Europe and South America) as guinea pigs, before even considering to allow a drug to be marketed in Canada. When will it hit the market in Canada? A rule of thumb is, when the Americans get it, we will get it in five years (and they haven't received approval, yet).
This is not always the case. We have Manerix™ (moclobemide) and the U.S. doesn't. We have Luvox™ (fluvoxamine) for depression and the U.S. only has it for OCD. Why this is so, I have no idea. That question is for greater (govern-mental) minds than mine.
Hang in there, if adrafinil doesn't kill to many Europeans, we may be in line to having it approved here. - Cam
