Interestingly, adrafinil appears to be metabolized to modafinil. I've had an interest in the latter for some time but never tried it because it's restricted in the U.S. Adrafinil apparently isn't. Is it easily available?

I get it from antiaging-systems.com. It's about a third the cost of modafinil and doesn't require a prescription or anything. The one warning is that the same process which metabolizes adrafinil to modafinil stresses the liver a bit. Mild, but good to keep in mind.
