In reply to ADRAFINIL and why I must stop it (lack of support), posted by Collette1 on November 27, 2001, at 9:27:45
Collette,
The problem is that many of the regular posters on this board are in the United States, where Adrafinil has not been approved by the FDA and may not be legally sold. No doctor in the United States will give you "approval" to use a drug that is not approved, ESPECIALLY since Provigil, its successor, is much more powerful, has far less risk of damaging your liver, and it is approved for use in the US.
Further, after lengthy discussion and consideration, Dr. Bob adopted a policy whereby posters are forbidden to facilitate the commission of a crime, including importing prescription drugs not approved by the FDA or for which you do not have a valid US prescription. While this policy does NOT mean that individuals cannot discuss their individual experiences with the medication, it does tend to put a damper on enthusiasm for such discussions.
Considering the unapproved / illegal status of Adrafinil and the availabilty to you of Provigil as recommended by your doctor, why exactly are you pursuing additional information about Adrafinil?
Scott has had more experience with Adrafinil than anyone else on this board, I suspect. You might wish to contact him directly for additional information.
Best wishes,
Mark H.
