Positive experiences
“I take 300mg Adrafinil as soon as I get up, and usually in 90 minutes I can feel its effects. I don't get any high, no peak, no plateau and no crash.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Adrafinil takes one hour to be processed and converted by the liver into what is needed to feel the effects, I'd say it lasts 6-7 hours after the initial 60 mins.”
“even the nootropics that some communities swear by did nothing for me (some that come to mind - racetams, tyrosine/NALT, NAC, methylated B vitamins...”
“I felt mildly stimulated and focused. I did not get any of the 'hobo-asparagus' pee smell, and I was REALLY tired and could not stay up past around 9.”
“Adrafinil worked for me for maybe a week. I was taking it every other day and a weekend break, by about the 6th or so dose, I felt NONTHING off 300+ MG.”
“I've been using adrafanil off-an-on for the past few months, and have found little effect on memory retention and focus.”
“I've been using Nubrain Adrafinil for weeks. One dose works within two hours and lasts for around ten more hours... It is clearly working.”
