Adrafinil is supposed to be a milder stimulant than modafinil (Provigil) & I'd rather have Provigil but it's more expensive.
Yes, it does work for me, but I have narcolepsy & ADD too. It took a couple of weeks before it started working for me - I read that's how it normally does, but many other people have said it worked immediately for them.
You will probably find as many people think it useless or bothersome, as though that do like it. I think a lot depends on your particular problem, brain chemistry, & perhaps other medications being taken. I have encountered no problems whatsoever on it. It has benefited my mood, alertness, focus, & daytime sleepiness. It also makes me feel gentler & more sociable. I have noticed effects wore off after a couple of months but I think it wasn't the reaction of the drug as much as a body reaction of mine. Please read the following message link to understand what I'm referring to, which is why I'm increasing the dose. I did think my initial dose was small.
