Modafinil/provigil made it impossible for me to sleep (long half-life), and make me tense and anxious when I took it. It made me more wakeful, and maybe little more energetic, but did not boost my mood noticeably. I found it inferior to methylphenidate and amphetamine, for my purposes.
However, it also doesn't cause increased heart-rate and blood-pressure, and many people seem to find it helpful for depression. One (highly respected) doc I talked to thought it a very good med to combine with Nardil and EMSAM. My guess is, with anxiety, it's probably like any other stimulant, in that it can either relieve or cause anxiety. Just a guess, though.
