For some on this board, Adderall + Klonopin seems to be a great combination. It is for me -- I take 1 mg Klonopin + 5 mg Adderall together every morning, then often another 5 mg Adderall a few hours later (but no more Klonopin). There seems to be a synergism between the two (for me). I have anxiety problems, ADD, and recurring depression, but most of this has been alleviated by this combo.
I started with Klonopin; it treated my anxiety extremely well, and the sedation problems disappeared completely after a couple of weeks. I added the Adderall later because of the ADD and some remaining depression, and it's worked like a charm. The same dose of Klonopin is just as effective after over a year of use, and the Adderall still works at the same dose after about 10 months. I do take Xanax PRN (very occasionally) and 1200 mg Neurontin/day, but it's clearly the Klonopin + Adderall that are having the major positive effects.
I took Provigil for a while and it was OK -- not great for ADD, but definitely stimulating without excessive anxiety. It should be fairly easy to get free samples -- Cephalon (the pharm. co. that markets it) is eager to get it widely prescribed for various uses and hands out samples to doctors. You might ask your Dr. about trying it.
