I've found that I also need to take methylphenidate for a sufficiently stimulating effect - to get up to speed in the morning. Often I need to add amisulpride and selegiline too. The modafinil is very subtle and unnoticeable, but when I take it, I don't notice when the methylphenidate wears off, and I've been finding myself staying up for more than 24 h, despite taking only single small doses of the stimulants soon after waking. Before starting modafinil, I needed multiple doses of methylphenidate even for a more modest period of wakefulness.

For me 100 mgs was really much ... I was wondering (like you say it supposedly boosts some other meds (like ad's)) if there was anything wrong with the combo I take (fluoxetine, tramado) modafinil with.
Looked it up at dr. Koop's drugchecker but only found about the possible interaction of fluoxetine and tramadol ... nothing about modafinil and the others ...
Good for you these meds help so much !
Do you vary the dose or take modafinil intermittently to avoid habituation (if something like that exists at all) or do you take it like clockwork (like Atmlady) ?
I wish you good luck,Robert
