More mo: That is not a large dose of modafinil - it could be doubled. Zoloft (as are the other SSRI's) is reknown for causing dullness mentally, sluggish energy and even outright cognitive compromise - all reversible with dose adjustment or discontinuation. Switching to an antidepressant that does not have those effects would also be an option.
