Sanity check fail: 10mg is an implausibly small dose, so small you'd have to grind the pills and measure tiny quantities of powder. Are you sure you're not thin

  It comes in 100mg pills, and I take between 1/4 and 1/6 of one. Higher doses don't seem to have much more of the beneficial effects on concentration and memory, just make me more jittery.

  not true. I took ritalin in high school, and when I took a whole pill, it made me feel like a zombie. I was able to scale back to 1/5th of a pill and still be able to focus. Those pills were already pretty small, so I'd just smash it and dump approximately 1/5th of the powder in my orange juice.

  A tablet isn't pure active ingredient. "PROVIGIL tablets contain 100 mg or 200 mg of modafinil and the following inactive ingredients: lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, and magnesium stearate." [1] The 100 mg pill is a 13 mm oval. [2] So it seems entirely plausible to me to use a pill cutter to cut it into 8 or 10 roughly equal parts.
