In reply to ADRAFINIL and why I must stop it (lack of support), posted by Collette1 on November 27, 2001, at 9:27:45
Adrafinil can cause, with long term use, an elevation in liver enzymes (this is bad). Provigil (Modafinil) has the same therapeutic action as adrafinil but was specifically designed to avoid this problem. Provigil does not elevate liver enzymes & is FDA approved & available by prescription. I bought some Adrafinil too, but now regret it because of the liver damage issue, I wish I had just gotten provigil (modafinil) instead. In the instructions it says to take 2 to 4 pills when you wake up in the morning.
Adrafinil information:

Provigil information:
http://www.provigil.com> I was very excited to receive my Adrafinil and felt that I finally had "the answer" in my hands. The first thing I realized is that the directions, of course, are all in French and that if I wanted to know anything about this drug, like when to take it and how ( with food?), I would be relying on psycho-babble, since my pdoc knows nothing about this drug.
> I felt relatively safe taking it, since my pdoc had recently given me Provigil to try.
> Unfortunatly, I did have questions about the drug and possible side effects and whenever I posted a question online at Psycho-babble, I never received any responses. I even posted into old threads so as to get a response from some of the old posters about adrafinil. So now, here I am, not doing very well mentally and with no responsive support. MY MISTAKE.
> I will get to see my pdoc today and stick with his recommendations, since at least I can usually get some sort of response from him when I need it.
> Disappointed, Collette.
