    What is your experience with Adrafinil?

    Hello! I saw Adrafinil mentioned on another thread because it metabolizes into Modafinil, but is said to be over the counter/easier to obtain than Modafinil. I used to take Modafinil, so I'm curious to know if anyone has experience with Adrafinil and, if so, if it helped.

    Betahistine

    Betahistine has been mentioned in passing in various posts but I thought it would be useful to make a dedicated thread to discuss pharmacology and possible effect on ME symptoms. Betahistine is typically prescribed for vertigo and other vestibular disorders. But in general it’s a strong H3...
