In reply to Info on my new wonderdrug....Adrafinil., posted by JohnL on April 14, 2000, at 4:26:06
John, this is encouraging, to hear you say you might enjoy something, look forward to something.
I have tried in vain thus far to get info on adrafinil on the net. In pubmed, the only abstracts my search produced were animal studies. There was one site with info in French, but, alors, mon frances c'est tres tres mal.
I don't know if you have read Adam's recent posts about oral selegline, now that he is off the patch study. He is finding it a bit too stimulating, and it seems to be causing OCD-spectrum symptoms, such as nail biting, scratching, etc. I also have such problems, including skin picking (which I have discovered today is being termed a number of things, including "dermotillomania", "neurotic excoriation", etc.), and I am wondering if it is caused or made worse by effexor or ritalin, both of which are very activating/stimulating in my system. So, while I am curious as to whether adrafinil might be something I should try, I also wonder if it is too much in that stimulating camp for me.
John, I hope this turns out to be a long term success for you. Please keep us posted.
