I'm not sure. I don't feel at all "ramped up", jittery, or anxious on Provigil. Heck, a lot of the time I don't feel anything at all, except I can get up in the a.m., feel alert, not be hugely grumpy (which my husband really really appreciates), and not need a nap. I currently take 200 mg. I accidentally took 400 mg the other day when I mistook my Provigil for my vitamin. I didn't notice any difference and didn't feel any more ramped up.
I'm not an overtly anxious person. My anxiety gets covered up really well by depression and if not depressed, by avoidance, repression, and distraction. So I don't really know how it might affect someone who's primarily anxious. If your insurance will cover it and pdoc agrees, I'd say it's worth a try though. It's got a pretty short half-life, so if it makes you more anxious you can stop it and have it out of your system pretty quick.
