Adrafinil (& Provigil) belongs to the same class of drugs, "good arousal" or eugeroic medication. While Dexedrine & Ritalin both helped with my drowsiness, focusing, & alertness they don't do it nearly as well as adrafinil does for me. Before I tried adrafinil, I never thought I'd feel as well on it as I did on Dexedrine or Ritalin, but to my surprise, I feel better! And with adrafinil, the level is always even - no dragging myself out of bed in the morning feeling barely awake & alive till the Dexedrine starts working. I feel alert from morning till night, yet still have no problem falling asleep like I used to.

My ADHD shows at my age as super-hyper when I'm busy doing something, but if I'm not doing something physically active, my motor's barely idling. While I'm not really "tired", I am "sleepy" & all the time. I can sleep easily half the day without stimulation.

Anyway, I've written a lot about adrafinil before on this forum & don't want to come across as if I'm pushing it. The reason it works so wonderfully for me may be due to what I have - ADHD with depression & narcolepsy (along with a very oddly functioning brain). :)


< < "...the fatigue and carbo cravings. I've seen that wb is one of the drugs used for ADD but it doesn't seem to have helped me with the organizational/focusing problems that I have."

< < "...my fatigue doesn't get any better. The wb has worked for the depression though so I really would have to switch. I'm wondering if I should add something like adderall or ritalin and just see what happens."
