I have had my complete physical check up done many times and any physical problem has already been rule out.I know modafinil and gabapentin work against each other but before that i had pregabalin for around 6 months with out modafinil and there is not much difference between pregabalin and gabapentin. The situation was same at that time too.I have tried escitalopram for around 1.5 years and another SSRI paroxetine for at least three years in all.I had nightmares at 50 mg paroxetine.It is in my opinion the worst drug along with imipramine in terms of side effect.I have social phobia right from the childhood when i was physically good.I have had amisulpride for more then six months.If i am not mistaken it is atypical antipsychotics. I have not taken any drug for less then three months which i think adequate time to at least some effect.I have definitely got something from most of the drugs and that is "side effects". By adding modafinil or bupropion i do not think my anxiety has worsened.Paroxetine is the drug i have taken the most and in my opinion SSRI do not work either for dysthymia,social anxiety or GAD at all. In earlier part of my treatment,i was only on couple of drugs with mild dosage.It is only in last three or four years five or six drugs have been simultaneously used. And from what i have got from internet most of these drugs have been tried at almost highest level of their tolerable limit.
