Provigil reduced my anxiety to a manageable level. It's different from the Big Boys of stimulants, and I've never been on any of them. I also don't have any dx re: anxiety; just MDD with some anxiety attached.
With Provigil, I've found that taking higher doses always leaves me draggy and restless, but taking a lower dose helps me stay alert, focus more, etc. All the good stuff. (Then again, it's a stim and it sedates me, so I'm probably not the best model for anyone else, right?)
Have you talked to your doc about trying something like Strattera? It might help with both the depression and the anxiety, both, which might be a real bonus.
Best luck to you.
