Lynne,
Adrafinil doesn't necessarily work by the same mechanisms as Provigil. From reading the posts here it does seem like they work in different ways. (Does anybody know how adrafinil works!) Having not responded to adrafinil, you can now try another arousal agent that works in a different manner such as Provigil or reboxetine. I personally would try Provigil next because it seems possible a negative response to provigil predicts a positive response to adrafinil and possibly visa versa. Have you tried wellbutrin? Concerning reboxetine, I suggest that before trying reboxetine one should try .01% Naphazoline eye drops (with no other active ingrediants). It is my impression that a positive arousal response to these eye drops would likely mean a positive response to reboxetine.
