I'll echo the above post, although it depends on what the stimulant is for. Provigil was a good energizer for me, with no increase in anxiety, but didn't help with my ADD issues enough. Adderall works better for me (for ADD), and I haven't had any of the "crash" effects that some others have reported here. Both have mood-lifting effects for me.
Some people do best with Ritalin, but my pdoc considers it "harsher" and more likely to cause anxiety and rapid crashes as it leaves your system (I haven't tried it). All of this is very individual-specific, though.
