Provigil can be great for increasing energy and motivation. I took it for a while for ADD; it didn't help enough there but it did increase my energy level and confidence without causing anxiety. I have a friend who's bipolar and finds some of the meds too sedating. I suggested Provigil -- he talked to his pdoc, who was enthusiastic about it, and the results have been very positive.
Some people also find it effective as an antidepressant; you might look up some of IsoM's posts on this. All in all, it can be very helpful for some people. I'd just go slow on the dosing (start at 25-50 mg), especially if you're prone to anxiety.
