No link, no mention of what Modafinil is or why I should care, not even a name of the insurance company? You haven’t even assigned a likelihood to your prediction, which leaves it unworthy of Predictionbook, never mind a LW post.
Wikipedia link added, you should care if you had been considering using the drug but if you have then my post has immediate actionable value, I would rather not disclose the name of my insurance company, >50% for elite schools.
Indeed. Modafinil is already a somewhat popular study drug, so there may be no major increase from any price drop—not that I know how one would quantify uptake since college surveys tend to be one-offs...
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.
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.

There is a huge black market in Adderall at my college but, to the best of my knowledge, none in Modafinil.

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.
