In reply to Adrafanil-Any Experiences?, posted by Tom Twilight on July 9, 2005, at 13:34:35
I took adrafanil for over a year a liked it. It made me more motivated and more social. The dose I liked best was one pill, 300mg, per day. Was also taking prozac and zyprexa. Adrafinil helped and went well with the combo.
Insomnia side effects went away after a few weeks. Explosive sudden diarrhea at random unexpected times is what made me quit. That went away completely after I stopped. When I did quit, there were no withdrawals at all. Zero.
Though you can feel adrafinil the first day, kind of like a mild stimulant, the good effects really take 2 to 4 weeks to show up. Good things like becoming more active, enjoying things more, and becoming more talkative, really take a few weeks to gradually show up. If that inner tension or uncomfortableness shows up, it just means the dose is too high.
I often contemplate going back on it. But if I did, I would cut the pills in half and just do 150mg per day.
