Last time I checked, cephalon had some sort shady deal to keep generic modafinil off the market for a few more years (paying generic manufacturers to not bring it to market). If modafinil goes generic, it will be really good news.

It's generic, but it's still expensive. My insurance still required prior auth, but it was doable.
From what I've heard before, it was almost impossible for people to get approved by insurance for modafinil, maybe times have changed and I need to pay the doctor a visit in the future.

For now though, nicotine hits the spot.

No it is still friggin impossible...

I have an actual sleep disorder and I am currently going through hell trying to get my insurance to pay for modafinil, and I've been through the whole battery of tests. :( I don't want to be "smarter" I want to be awake.

It is generic but still stupid expensive.
