Hey Ronaldo, I started adrafinil again today. I've just been so fatigued, drained and depressed. Anyway, I'm only did 75mg twice a day. For most people that would be nothing. But it lifted me from severe depression to moderate depression in about 6 hours. And tonight for the first time in about a week, I got my "evening bounce" back again.
Anyway, in my experience the first day effects become transparent by the second day. But as long as the evening bounce stays with me, at least I will know adrafinil is doing something. And with that low of a dose, and because I am more stabilized now on my lower dose of 1.25mg zyprexa (18 days!) hopefully anxiety or tension won't get in the way. I think I started adrafinil too soon last time after dropping zyprexa down, and I think I started with too high of a dose of adrafinil.
I think adrafinil works better in combo with something else, like low dose zyprexa or low dose ssri, than it does by itself.
And for some people, I think with all drugs less can be more, less can be better.
Anyway, I'm back on adrafinil.
