Wow! Suzie,
That's just about all I have to say. I can't offer you any intelligent advice except to say go gently. iow halve your provigil and halve your adrafinil so that you will be taking the same total amount of modafinil. Start like that and then increase slowly. I am not an expert. I have never taken adrafinil but I have two boxes of it waiting in my drawer. Maybe you should stop the modafinil for a while and start your adrafinil on its own so you get the feel of it and then add the modafinil. Adrafinil metabolizes into modafinil inside the body as far as I know.
"Adrafinil was discovered in the late 1970s by scientists working with the French pharmaceutical company Group Lafon. The drug was first offered as an experimental treatment for narcolepsy in France in 1986. Later on, Lafon scientists developed modafinil as a stand-alone drug because the latter drug was understood to be a more highly selective alpha-1 adrenergic and also featured less in the way of side effects such as stomach pain, skin irritations, feelings of tension, and an increase in liver enzyme levels. SGOT SGPT GGPT hepatic alkaline phosphatase"
Suzie you want to get your liver enzymes checked before you start Adrafinil and then again about 5 months after you have been taking it.
What are Adrafinil's side effects or drug interactions?
1.Side effects include: increase in liver enzymes, headaches, stomach pain, minor skin irritations, inner tension and mild agitation or aggression2.People with epilepsy, liver or kidney impairment, or those using tranquilizer should not use Adrafinil

I would love to know how it goes. Please come back and let us know. I hope I have not bored you with a whole lot of stuff you already knew. The guy to ask about Adrafinil is blueberry. I expect he will answer your post when he sees it.

> Anyone know whether this should not be done? Been taking Provigil for some time with reasonable success but not perfect. Got olmifon to try and wondering if I can combine them, cause I dont want to stop the good effects of the provigil wile I wait to see what the olmifon does.
