Modafinil alone didn’t have that effect?

It helped, but the combo beat both depression and lack of motivation much more effectively.
Sounds like me, except Vyvanse instead of Modafinol. Bupropion was the magic key. I thought my Vyvanse just wasn't working anymore.

Turns out I was just super depressed. Since switching meds I've lost a lot of weight because I don't have food cravings as much.

The way I think of it... Vyvanse keeps me focused when I get to work, but without Bupropion just getting out bed sometimes seems daunting. One gets me to start my day, the other keeps me focused when I do.

What dosage of modafinil?
Pretty low, but I tend to find lower doses than average to be effective.
