Not sure if you were asking me or another John, but I thought I would put in my two cents.I noticed a little pop on the first day. After that it kind of faded to nothing. I upped the dose to 3 tabs per day for about two weeks, at which time the good effects I felt on the first day started to come back. I have since been able to maintain the good effects with just one tab per day. Though I did feel some effects early, it really wasn't until about week 3 or 4 that I noticed a real difference in my level of interests and motivation.
Even after it did kick in, it still felt slightly like something was missing. The addition of Amisulpride made for a full rounded package. I experienced the same pattern with Amisulpride. That is, a nice pop the first day, then a fading, then a gradual return over 2 to 4 weeks. I view Amisulpride as an Adrafinil turbocharger, and vica versa. Both seem to work way better together than alone, even more than the sum of the two combined, if that makes any sense.
There have been sporadic reports of these drugs not working as well as hoped with one or two other people here. Most tryers seem to like them though. As with all drugs, I think it all boils down to how well a drug matches the actual chemistry problem. If noradrenaline receptors are somehow clogged or malfunctioning, Adrafinil will work. If they aren't, it might have only a little effect. If there is a hypo-dopamine function, Amisulpride will work. But if dopamine is fine, Amisulpride will probably do only a little. Adrafinil also has some indirect effects on dopamine, which may explain why the two together work so well.
You're "still waiting" for Amisulpride? How long has it been? Where did you order it? I know from experience that farmacia cerati in Italy only takes about 5 to 8 days for delivery. But anyway, when you get it, you could do what I did and just add it to the ongoing Adrafinil, even if Adrafinil doesn't seem to be doing anything. Trust me. If after that you still find little use for these drugs, then at least you'll know the chemistry you're dealing with is not directly NE or dopamine related.
