The ones I know about are Ritalin, Adderall (dexedrine), Provigil (modafinil) and Xyrem. I'm not familiar with Lexapro but I'll check it out. There are problems with all of them and it seems they lose effectiveness after a while for some people. While Provigil works for one person it wipes someone else out and gives him or her the stoopids. You can look them up in the drug reference link here at Sleepnet or just try an Internet search. You just have to work with your doctors and listen to you body. Most of the time your body reaction gives you the most information.
