Initially, I found the addition of modafinil to improve certain aspects of rational thought and executive function, but I'm not certain about that any more. Also, I've found modafinil to be insufficient to wake me up - only to keep me awake - and therefore, methylphenidate is still required.

I think you will need to perform your own tests to determine whether the combination provides any added benefit.
