Thanks Thrud. I didn't mean to say you were ignoring me on purpose, but wasn't sure if anything I'd written before was helpful to you, & whether I should mention the adrafinil again.
Nope, adrafinil isn't an amphetamine-type. It & modafinil are the only two in their class of stims. And yes, modafinil is a metabolite of adrafinil. You won't get adrafinil here in North America though. I order mine on-line. I'd rather give modafinil (Provigil) a try but not at the price it is now.
I can vouch for cognitive improvement with me while relieving anxiety. But it took a short while to kick in - it didn't have an immediate effect. Don't know about the sexual part as I'm not in a relationship now, but I've read that others have said (research papers agreed) that it improved sexual enjoyment, rather than hindering it.
I ran out of adrafinil again (after vowing never to let it happen) & definitely feel the anxious & irritable edge back again. Can't wait for it to come in the mail. Instead of being calm & content, I'm irritable & ready to jump on people. My shoulders are tight & sore again, & I find I'm clenching my jaws too, & have frequent headaches from furrowed brows. Adrafinil relieves it all for me. It's amazing how different I feel on it.
