> I have used modafinil some years ago, but it worsened my depression. Could it work better in combination with tianeptine and can modafinil worsen anxiety disorders?
Theoretically every stimulating drug can do this but everyone reacts different.
For me it never worsent anything but is just "pooping out" after a while.
I also combined modafinil with seroquel and I was well.I did add seroquel 25m to the modafinil+tianeptine combo occasionally to induce sleep.
The Lexapro you are taking should also work against anxiety but I feel that you take a lot of meds.Tianeptine has strong anxiolytic properties also.
I can't give you any advice only speak about my experience.

For me the "basical" med is the tianeptine.
Modafinil is good but I could live without it.
It's much easier to quit than the tianeptine.
There are articles who speak about tianeptine and modafinil working synergistically.>
> That are big problems for me, too. I have tried Dexedrine, but it increased the anxiey severely.
As I mentioned I can't get Dexedrine in my country.
Did you combine it with an anxiolytic medication?

I never tried opioids.
No way a doctor in my country would prescribe it for depression...NO WAY!!!
Did you have any withdrawal-symptoms when you stopped it?

But the "dark side" is the addiction/discontinuation thing.
Only the thought that I will run out of the med causes me panic.
When I run out of it I turn to alcohol for comfort.
It's no fun.Combining so many meds as you do makes me feel worried although...
Tianeptine has some euphoric properties too,at least at the beginning and in high doses (75 mg at one time or more).
I felt that ssri interfered negatively with this.
They "block" euphoria...that's my impression.
Have you ever tried tianeptine without ssri?
(That's just a question/no suggestion).
