Provigil (modafinil) worked well for me together with K, and increased my motivation and energy without causing anxiety. From what I understand, adrafinil is its "parent" drug, and has similar effects. I switched to Adderall because Provigil didn't help enough with focus (for ADD), but I'd certainly take it again for its other benefits.
I have seen some concerns about liver damage with adrafinil, so that might be something to monitor. This doesn't seem to be an issue with modafinil. Provigil is expensive in the U.S., but doctors (at least pdocs) seem to have lots of free samples and it's not very controlled. So, you might see if you can get some to try from your doctor -- my pdoc was happy to hand it out.
