Modafinil in the morning - Melatonin at night. Your thoughts?

I have decided to start 200mg Modafinil in the morning when I wake up. I have been reading about it for several days (user accounts, general information, forums etc) and think that various symptoms I have would benefit from it.
I generally have trouble with regular sleeping times and so I am going to try to help regulate this with Melatonin.
Many reviews have suggested that regular Modafinil use over a period of time stops being effective so I'm going to dose every second day or so. Sometimes less sometimes more. Anyone with similar experiences, I would be very keen to hear from you.
I suffer from depression and depersonalisation yet am switched on and self aware. I know what I need and want to do with my time but find it so hard to focus, maintain enthusiasm or commit to anything for a period of time.
I am putting a lot of faith in this avenue of self medication.

No. It's only through reading about Modafinil that I've even heard of such a thing. But I don't like the idea of taking many different things one on top of the other. And it sounds expensive.
And I'm addicted to coffee which really affects my mood and nerves badly.

Uhh, modafinil is one of the most expensive things out there! It has also been shown to develop tolerance, and can have side effects. Piracetam is cheap as hell, safe, does not develop a tolerance, and helps protect your brain. L-theanine will help with your nerves on caffeine, a lot. The stack he suggested is a great start, is easy to get, and much cheaper than your modafinil.
