Modafinil helped my ADD symptoms. (I'm not formally diagnosed, I just have "inattentiveness" right now.) Much of my inattentiveness may be from the anergia which is part of my depression. So I think it might help because of that?
Modafinil does seem to help some people. But, so does bupropion. I don't think anything as effective as, say, d-amphetamine is coming down the drug pipeline any time soon.
Re: Buspar. I think buspirone gets a bad rap because the doses initially used may have been too low. But I don't know much about GAD, which is what it's indicated for. I think it can make a good antidepressant augmenter. (Well, it once worked for me with Cymbalta, there's my bias. <shrug>)
