Hey Ines!
I took moc for all of about a week a year ago now. I started on a really small dose, as I'm quite med sensitive. Anyway, well it was obviously too short a time period to tell anything, but it definately gave me more energy and motivation. I can see how agitation might be an issue through, but the extra energy was very welcome for me! I was on holiday in Ireland at the time, and I seem to remember really really enjoying the holiday, which is relatively rare for me! It also made me feel abit faint and light headed at times, which apparently are very common side effects. I had to stop because I got a slight rash on the back of my hands, and being the hypochrondiriac that I am, completely stopped the moc.
Oh well.
Have you thought about Zyban/wellbutrin/bupropion?
That give me extra energy and stopped carb cravings. However, it also made my anxiety worse, and I again got a funny rash on it, so I stopped.
Here's a good drug chart complied by our very own SLS which is a good base: (my apologies if you're already come across it before)
