> Hi. Aren't Modafinil and Adrafinil very similar? Doesn't one of them metabolize into the other? Why is one available in the U.S. but the other is not?
Hi BekkaH,
I'm not sure, but I bet money has something to do with it :-) It's advisable to get your liver tested while on adrafinil. This isn't necessary with modafinil. I've been on both. Adrafinil gave me a horrible headache while modafinil did not. Their effects were very simsilar for me. I know modafinil is rediculously more expenseve than adrafinil. Anyway, I hope I've provided some insight.
Good Luck,
Jon
