I got talking with a chemical engineer once(he wasn't in medicine development though) which is how I learned a bit more about new drug development, plus I did a whole lot more reading.
Drug development can be really complicated. Shotgun approach is tried but the more sites affected, the more likely it is to have more side-effects too. It's not the chemical engineering that lags but the knowledge of how the brain & different transmitters work. More research is needed on how the mind works. At least, we seemed to have found our "magic bullet".
You probably didn't see one post where I asked if your deep sleep stage has improved at all on the modafinil. I'm curious but don't know whether you had trouble sleeping before.
