I tried one pill yesterday (I'm studying for a midterm) and it worked great! Ever since I started taking the topamax (my doc started me on 50 mg, which I've been on for about a week and a half, with an extra 25 mg a day for the last three days), I've been finding it really hard to wake up and stay awake. Since I work from home the temptation to nap has been really hard to resist. But it's really been helping me moderate my drinking (haven't had more than three bottles in an evening since I started - and believe me that's a real feat!)
The Adrafiinil had no side effects that I noticed (no upset stomach, headache, etc.) - although I took it with food, as was recommended. In about 20-30 minutes I felt gradually more awake but not high or "up", like I was on speed or had too much caffeine or anything like that. I was able to concentrate on my work and studies. Later in the afternoon I started to feel a bit shaky but I often feel that way when I'm hungry and the shakiness went away when I had a bite to eat so I don't think it had anything to do with the drug.
Anyhow, I was very pleased with the effects. Anybody else tried it? I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences.
