I started using 100mg/day modafinil for the first time about a month ago (week days only). I felt no clear discernible cognitive enhancement that is often said about modafinil use. What I did however notice is that it does a good job keeping me awake to handle one more day in a sleep-deprived state ... only to crash with a god awful hangover a day later. (Severe headaches, dizziness and loss of physical strength). Modafinil masks your exhaustion artificially.
I'm down now to 50 mg (broken pill) for days I feel I need "a starter". This seems to be an optimal dose for me right now but I am certain I won't be using it long term or in larger doses.
Just quietly with those side effects and the fact that you didn't stop suggests you might want to consider whether you have a problem from all the angles. Consider all the silly angles as well. It may be you don't but please entertain the other possibility too. You only get one brain and one body. My best wishes to both.
