Hey everyone! So I came across some pretty good info online during the launch of our buy one get one free deal on Adrafinil. Thought I would share it with you guys here for anyone that may have questions...
ADRAFINIL: What is; (a.k.a. Olmifon) (Description & information below)
NOTE:not to be confused with "Anafranil (a.k.a. clomipramine)" the Antidepressant.
Adrafinil provides alertness in most without the feeling often felt with stimulants that usually are prescribed for a person with
narcolepsy. Such as amphetamines etc. Also the possibility of tolerance is low with its continued use. There is however a
need for certain Liver function tests
on a regular basis with its continued use. Normally the same types of required testing as with the medication " cylert " which is
commonly prescribed in the USA. It is also used in certain parts europe as a "antidepressant". It is the combination of
Adrafinil's releasing stimulantive arousal effect(s), and its antidepressant effects that some doctors in europe recommend
Adrafinil over its newer form of Modafinil. There have been studies done in the United States "measuring depression in
individuals with sleep disorders",. In one study it was suggested that the
"rate of narcolepsy and depression is estimated to be between 30-52%".
ADRAFINIL
Adrafinil: Alertness Without Stimulation
Adrafinil is the prototype of a new class of smart drug - the eugeroics (ie, "good arousal") - designed to promote vigilance
and alertness. Developed by the French pharmaceutical company Lafon Laboratories, adrafinil (brand name, Olmifon) has
been approved in many European countries for treating narcolepsy, a condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness
and other unusual symptoms.
Non-narcoleptic users generally find that adrafinil gives them increased energy and reduces fatigue, while improving cognitive
function, mental focus, concentration, and memory. It has been reported that quiet people who take adrafinil become more
talkative, reserved people become more open, and passive people become more active.
Of course, many stimulant drugs, ranging from caffeine to methamphetamine, are known to produce similar alerting/energizing
effects. Adrafinil has been described by some users as a "kinder, gentler" stimulant, because it provides these benefits but
usually with much less of the anxiety, agitation, insomnia, associated with conventional stimulants.
Adrafinil's effects are more subtle than those of the stimulants you may be used to, building over a period of days to months.
They appear to be based on its ability to selectively stimulate 1-adrenergic receptors in the brain.2 These receptors normally
respond to norepinephrine (noradrenaline), a neurotransmitter linked to alertness, learning, and memory. This is in contrast to
conventional stimulants, which stimulate a broader spectrum of brain receptors, including those involving dopamine. Its more
focused activity profile may account for adrafinil's relative lack of adverse side effects.
Dosing
The standard dose is 2 to 4 300-mg tablets per day for improving cognitive function, although some people may find lower
doses produce a desirable degree of improvement. Higher doses have been used to treat narcolepsy.
ADRAFINIL (OLMIFON)
A unique substance which improves daytime alertness and vigilance
without altering the phases of sleep. Take 2 to 4 tablets per day. After
8 to 10 days of treatment feelings of fatigue disappear, after 15 days
there is a powerful effect on activity and after 1 to 3 months cognitive
effects are experienced. Intellectual function is improved particularly,
the ability to formulate new ideas and recall information. Avoid if you
suffer from epilepsy, kidney or liver impairment.
1) Treatment for the symptoms of age-related difficulties with vigillance and
depression. Double-blinded studies against placebo demonstrated an improvement in mental state in elderly subjects.
Distribution:
> Bound to plasma proteins: 80%
> Half-life
> 1 hour
> Metabolism
> 75% level of hepatic metabilism in the liver to an acid derivative, then glucoronic
acid conjugation.
> Elimination
> Renal, essentially in the form of a glucoronic acid conjugate
