provigil would keep building tolerance for me. usually giving it a break for a few days would help in this regard. mood brightening? i think a bit. it helped more with energy, feeling alert, improvement to cognition but appeared to produce a bit of a crash in late evening where i'd feel empty and quite procrastinated.
