Modafinil stopped working after only 2 months

I've been taking Modafinil for about 2 months now (mostly 200mg in the morning) and at first it was amazing. Clear focus, good energy, no more brain fog. But the last few weeks it's like it's doing almost nothing. I still feel foggy-headed, mentally sluggish, and physically tired even after taking it. Some days I even feel worse, like it's making the fatigue more noticeable.

I haven't changed my sleep schedule (still getting 7-8 hours), diet is decent, and I don't use it every single day — maybe 4-5 days a week. I was hoping it wouldn't build tolerance this fast.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it come back after a break, or did you have to increase the dose? Any tips on potentiating it or should I be looking into tolerance reset strategies? Really disappointed because it was working so well at the beginning.

What to take on the comedown for a boost?

Modafinil usually stops working for me after a few hours. What can I take (that’s not another dose of modafinil) to get a boost again? I’ve tried Bromantane but felt nothing from it.

I think I messed up my dosage

Took a 200mg modalert right of the bat, for the first time yesterday and today morning at 6 am, and today night i took around a 150mg at around midnight, i know this is very not ideal and after doing some basic googling it looks like i should have started with 50.

Whats the best course of action from here? not do any more for a week or two then do 50-100 on days when I need it?
