I liked adrafinil, it had a nice smooth feel to it, but it created a small hypertensive reaction when I combined it with nardil. Since my pdoc had been so against the combination in the first place, I discontinued the adrafinal (not willing yet to give up nardil).

> ShelliI just came across this post, so I don't know if you're still interested in this... I don't have a lot to say personally, but I thought johnL used adrafinil for quite a while... maybe he'll see this & put his 2 cents in...?
I only tried modafinil for a few days - didn't do much for me. I had prevously tried adrafinil for a while - found it to be helpful (I think) but subtle. Haven't used it for a while - using dex now - & never did the liver tests... Sorry I don't have more to say.
