Some descriptions I've heard say Provigil is stronger but others say Olmifon is. I think perhaps it's because it can affect others differently. Like SSRIs, just because one doesn't work doesn't mean they all won't.
I order my adrafinil (Olmifon) from overseas rather than get a prescription. Because of that, I order adrafinil as it's considerably cheaper than modafinil. For what I'm looking for, adrafinil sounded better suited to me also. It's not that adrafinil is harder on the liver than modafinil - both can be. Just that there's a higher percentage of people bothered by liver problems with adrafinil than modafinil.
It's still not many but can happen so I'm keeping tabs on my liver. Actually, the list of drugs that can affect the liver is very long. Acetomenophen (spelling's not quite right) or Tylenol is the worse.

Just to make it to work before 2 pm today, I had to take 2 Provigil AND 40mg of generic ritalin, and frankly I could have spent the whole day in bed. I cannot even account for my time, although while I'm doing "stuff," it seems important to me.
