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.

I see your point. However, I do think he/she should try piracetam/L-theanine first. It can be bought in small quantities, cheaply, AND LEGALLY. Not that legalities really stop me from anything, but... Even with modafinil, he will have to taper off his caffeine usage, or will get withdrawal. Might as well use that time to test out a small batch of piracetam. Then, once his caffeine tolerance is down, decide if modafinil should be trialed.
