I took adrafinil in combination with prozac and zyprexa. It worked really well and rounded out the mix perfectly. I was on it for about a year, and my maintenance dose was 300mg a day.
I did feel effects on the first day...stimulating, nervousness, edgy. That went away in a few days, then I really didn't feel much for a couple weeks, but then at about 4 weeks all of a sudden I felt great.
It is kind of subtle in the way it comes on, just like an antidepressant. The good effects really took 4 to 6 weeks for me. But as you know, mileage varies. Since you aren't getting any side effects of anything, maybe hang in there with it for a few more weeks.
I never took it by itself. So I don't know about that. It did work very well with other things.
