I don't know whether or not to blame the Adrafinil for that ... I took a Klonapin last night to help me sleep, so it could have been the lingering effects of that (although it's never bothered me before; maybe the combination of Klonapin + Adrafinil? Hmmmm).

>Cindy,
I believe that the adrafinil does not take effect immediately. From what I have read, it takes from 10-14 days to start working with gradual changes occurring after that time. Also, from what I have read, it is better to split the dosage. I am taking 300 mg in the morning and 300 mg in the afternoon.
I have had no side effects so far. I will keep you posted on my progress.> You haven't noticed any side effects? That's good news ...
