As someone with a real Rx for ADHD/Narcolepsy, I noticed the same thing after several years.
After being on it for ~5 years it lost its magic and efficacy, so I
ended up introducing lifestyle changes in the form of a 5-color-a-day smoothie, exercise & sleep. Lifestyle changes were helpful, but not quite enough.
When I recently started back up, I noticed that Provigil was a bit too stimulating for me. And I've found a good balance in doing a 1/4 to 1/2 a pill. About 50-100mg dose + caffiene (coffee/tea/energy drink) instead of the typical 200mg.
And that's been quite a nice boost.
Adderall on the other hand is a massive dump of dopamine and focus, so the focus is there, but it's easy to become a stimulated zombie.
