Probably because Adrafinil is still unscheduled and essentially the same thing, nobody really is that worried about paying a premium for modafinil. I've been buying adrafinil for a little over 2 dollars per dose. Modafinil is better for everyday use (more liver stress with adrafinil) especially if you can get a scrip, but "study aids" are normally not taken every day anyway.

I think you mixed up Adrafinil and Adderall.

Lol no. Adrafinil is a prodrug of modafinil, currently unscheduled in the US. Adderall is extremely scheduled. ;)

Yeah, I know that. Anyway, I misread your whole comment. My bad.

Adderall is extremely scheduled.

Yeah, I'm not sure how someone could make that mistake, but then I'm used to seeing my prescription bag waiting for me with a big "IN THE SAFE" label on it.
