I'm thinking of attempting to quit caffeine for the nth time because it gives me anxiety. However, I don't want to quit alcohol, even though I don't drink more than once a week max, and I'd want something to help me wake up when I have hangovers, or even just an occasional wakefulness aid in the event that I am able to get off caffeine and don't want to get addicted again and just need that extra boost for work or to be productive.
I only tried Adrafinil once, and I don't remember loving it, but I was on caffeine at the time. By itself I'd imagine it would not cause anxiety, so I was thinking of trying it again.
However, I hear it can be hard on the liver because it makes your liver produce Modafinil. So the question is: how bad really is it for your liver? Lets say you had a heavy night of drinking, which is already bad for the liver, and you used Adrafinil to wake up the next day. Are you basically asking for liver damage, or would you most likely be ok to do this once a week or less?
And is Modafanil safer than Adrafinil? From what I read it might be. My psychiatrist actually DID seem to be open to prescribing Modafinil, but I can't be sure he would, and I might want some Adrafinil in the meantime. I would think if I could convince him that in the long term that would be better??
I just read that Adrafinil should not be taken more than 3 days a week, so yeah, obviously not a daily thing.
And are Adrafinil or Modafanil physically addictive/can they cause withdrawal effects?
Thanks
