Hi,
Modafinil(Provigil) is a younger cousin of Adrafinil."What are the differences between Modafinil and Adrafinil?"
Modafinil (Provigil) is a recently developed analogue of Adrafinil; it is more potent, more expensive, and has fewer side-effects. Average doses of Adrafinil are in the region of 600 mg to 1200 mg daily, compared to Modafinil's 200 mg to 400 mg daily. Adrafinil is attributed to some possible side effects that have not been associated with Modafinil (Provigil), including skin irritation in long term use (over 3 months), and an increase in liver enzyme levels, (which is reversible by reduction or withdrawal). Adrafinil may require regular blood testing to monitor liver enzyme levels if used on a regular basis."
