I figured after the holidays and not posting anything I'd write a quick hello and happy new year.
I've reverted to my Valium after a rather short trial of Adrifinil (I didn't plan very well and only bought a short supply).
Currently I'm on:
Noon: 10 mg Valium/12.5 mg Stablon (seems to lessen the 'mood dampening' but I'd take that sentiment with a few grains of salt).
6 pm: 10 mg Valium (occasionally followed by an additional 10 mg)As I've read here before people tend to frequent these boards less when things are working for them.
So seems to be the case. I've managed to get myself busy talking care of things that have needed doing and such (divorce in fact, but not the ugly sort).
Just wanted to explain my absence (to anyone who might have noticed!) and express a little appreciation (I really appreciate the feedback and general open/helpful attitude I've experienced with the people on this board, its not common).
Valium/Stablon is certainly not a long term solution (thats my guess anyway) so I'll probably be back when I decided to change things up. At some point therapy is the stop, but I've got some things to attend to first that seemingly work better with a little chemical intervention. :)
(sorry that was so long!)

How did adrafinil work out for you? What dose? What good effects? What bad effects?

Honestly I can't say for sure. Around the time I ran out I was beginning to experience something that could have been good results. But for most of the time I only noticed waking was easier (which is fairly huge, I'm *am not* a morning type). I was taking 2 tablets, so 600 mgs? More and like with the Stablon I'd get a headache.
As far as motivation goes (or marked mood-upswing) I hadn't noticed much, if anything, so it was a little disappointing. But the effects might be cumulative and they were beginning to feel different, just not in a way I got the opportunity to put my finger on.
Sorry I can't be more elaborate. My trial was fairly poorly planned. I'd have had enough to give it a month or more had I thought more clearly (ordering it from the states is slow, so when I realized I was running out it would have been 2-3 weeks before I could have "restarted" my trial).
This is the end of the thread.
