Really, I think that sometimes the diligent seeking of more trials and more unique coctails becomes a symbolic grail quest.

I've seen references to studies with 1,000mg day, but I think they set the recommended high dose based on the fact that at doses higher than 400mg/day, Provigil induces it's own metabolism.

Yep, the legends about the Grail also talk of the "Pearl of Great Price", which is what 1,000mg/day Provigil would be. That would be about $40 per day, or $1,200 per month!
And you better be Gates Jr., because most health insurance will not cover brand name meds at dosages above the PDR monograph prescribing limit. Just another little trick they use to keep their costs down.
