Hi.A few years ago, adrafinil was a popular drug on Psycho-Babble. There were a few people who reported feeling better on adrafinil than they did on modafinil (Provigil). One person even switched back and forth twice just to be sure. In the body, adrafinil is metabolized extensively into modafinil. Liver toxicity is indeed a concern with adrafinil, but I suppose regular screenings would mitigate any risk. Another advantage to using adrafinil is that it is relatively cheap. Provigil is very expensive.
I hope this helps.
