> J.L.No, must be some mistake. I never did develop a tolerance to Adrafinil. It has never become less effective. According to what I have read, this is what is normally expected. One way it differs from other stimulants is that it does not involve tolerance, resistance, dependence, or withdrawal.
I do remember it working real well almost immediately the first time I tried it, but then it faded after a few days. But then over a period of two weeks or so the initial good effects came back on their own. Since then I have been able to maintain the good effects with just one 300mg dose in the morning. Sometimes I go for a second dose at lunch, but not usually.
