I should point out some differences in my experience and use of modafinil.
I don't find it to be strong at all - I've taken more than 800 mg in a single dose without noticing anything (no different from 200 mg). 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.
It should be noted that I've always had trouble getting out of bed at a reasonable time, and to get started with the day. Furthermore, for most of my life I've been good at staying up very late, so my experience is probably not applicable to "morning" persons.
