returned.What I was trying to say, before I was so "rudely"
interrupted: If you end up with Adrafinil instead
of Provigil, be sure to take the required
QUARTERLY liver function tests to rule out the
sometimes-seen hepatic toxicity. Provigil doesn't
require this, although yearly liver tests (or
better yet semi-annual) are wise when taking any
of the many psychotropics that are eliminated via
the CYP 450 enzyme system.
