What's the optimal dose of modafinil in case of sleep deprivation for 24 hours ? tried 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the afternoon but i still feel tired around 3pm.should i take more or less ?

Same: 200 mg. twice a day has accomplished what modifinil can accomplish, and it sems that that was insufficient. A higher dose would be unlikely to accomplish more, and woud run the risk of side effects. You coulld certainly lower the dose, but it wouldn't help you to feel less tired. On the other hand, it is wise not to take a medicine if it is doing nothing for you.
