200 mg is the standard dose for whatever provigil is used for these days ('wake promotion'- anything to avoid the term 'stimulant.')
I split the dose 200/100. (am/noon). With caffeine, this actually gives me a degree of functioning to 6 pm, on a good day.
The problem is of course (as with any stimulant, and this may be only pertinent to those who have sleep disorders) that time spent awake is time not sleeping, and 'functioning' time seems to demand more in terms of sleep debt than time spent staring at the computer. Maybe for pure ADHD these considerations are not relevant.
