I second the Klonopin/Provigil combo as a possibility you may want to consider. I've used this combo for nearly 3 years (up until my current trial with parnate began 12 days ago) on an "as needed" basis (usually 1-2x per week) and it was worked wonders for me. The Provigil does seem to add a bit of a "pro-social" benefit that I don't notice with Klonopin alone, which could either be directly from the Provigil or more from decreasing the sedation I experience from the Klonopin (since I only take it 2 times per week, it makes me pretty sleepy each time). The Provigil is definitely subtle but apparently is doing "something." :)
Best of luck in your search. I, too, have been frusrated in my med search... I'd love to take the Klonopin/Provigil on a daily basis but have found I lose the "bang" when I do this. For now, I'm hoping parnate will do the trick.
