Maniz,
I've been taking Adrafinal for about 2 1/2 weeks at a dossage of 300 mg. I also experienced headaches which were controlled using Ibuprofen. Lately, i notice I'm extremely light sensitive, light headed and suffering from mild insomnia. Unfortunately, no real positive effects to speak of. All of these side effects I have experienced with other AD's.I'm going to stay the course and perhaps back off a little if the side effects become too severe. Sorry i wasn't able to provide you with any concrete suggestions, but i figured you appreciate hearing my experiences just the same. Good luck and please share any helpful information you come across.
