depression
"Since diagnosis I have been on almost every medication that has been introduced.  For the last five years I have taken 300mg Bupropion,  300mg Gabapentin 3/day, 200mg Modafinil, and additionally, Xanax, as needed.  The Bupropion alone was not helping somatic symptoms and the Gabapentin solved that.  The added Modafinil caused no noticeable side effects.   It did provide increased energy, a more positive mood, emotional stability, and a feeling of cheerfulness which was foreign to me. It does not prevent a good afternoon nap when needed and has never interfered with sleep at night. As I told my physician,  "The bupropion keeps me from wanting to die and the modafinil makes me want to live,"  Any minor side effects would be worth the benefits"
