You know how they do psychopharm. It's like checking to see if the pasta is done: you throw it at the wall. If it sticks; it's done.
Meds are not prescribed according to diagnosis. They aim at target symptoms. I don't get a really good idea of your symptoms from this thread but I would say Provigil helps me a great deal with lack of motivation and the generic is available through Canadian pharmacies on-line. You do not want Modalert 200 because you won't be able to divide the tablets and 200mgs is a huge dose. You want Modapro-200. Start with maybe 50mg in the am and another 50mg in the early afternoon. It's half-life is about 7 hours (on paper)so you don't want to take it too late in the day. I forget exactly what it costs but it's a fraction of the price of the US Provigil. I take it with klonopin and gabapentin because it is STIMULATING and I am prone to anxiety.I sympathize with the complete lack of motivation. Provigil is the only thing that gets me over the hump. I am taking Pristiq as well but without the Provigil I would still be staring at the wall.
