Basically anything that works on GABA or dopamine. Since you're already taking a GABA drug perhaps you're lacking in dopamine.
Some people find stimulants prosocial, like caffeine, adderall, and dexedrine. That may be an option as well. They work on dopamine. I personally find Adderall too anxiety provoking where as caffeine works great. YMMV.
