I have noticed, and it seems to be a an atypical feature of
Modafinil, that
tolerance rapidly reduce. Three days, massively (but not entirely) reduces
tolerance, and it seems to last for a useful amount of time. I believe that by having a tolerance break every 6 days or so (for 3 days) I can most likely reduce my dose to around 800mg per day, which certainly is still high, but much improved :)
I do appreciate your warning about potential long term effects.
