>I don't know if it is relevant, but the majority of patients who responded in the small open-label study of modafinil-augmentation often cited were taking bupropion. I think this was more the result of patient selection than rate of response.

This may be even *less* relevant, but for the record there were 7 patients in the Provigil (modafinil) augmentation study often cited. Here's the lineup:
#1 Celexa (citalopram) and Wellbutrin (bupropion)
#2 Wellbutrin and Deseryl (trazodone)
#3 Celexa
#4 Celexa
#5 Wellbutrin, Depakote (divalproex), and Lamictal (limotrigine)
#6 Serzone (nefazodone) and Paxil (paroxetine)
#7 Effexor (venlafaxine)The attached link gives more patient details including age, diagnosis, previous meds, time to initial effect, and brief analysis.
