Modafinil + Piracetam excitotoxicity?

I have heard many accounts of how mixing amphetamines (i.e. adderall) with piracetam is dangerous due to the probability of excitotoxicity, where NMDA receptors are overworked and essentially die.
My question is whether or not there is reason to believe that the same thing could happen between Modafinil (not a traditional stimulant) and Piracetam (or any racetam, for that matter). Modafinil partially has its effects through dopamine and norepinephrine, just like amphetamines, so I'm curious if there is the same risk involved.

I'm not going to lie... just reading this exchange alone has been some of the better content on /r/Nootropics since I first sub'd here. Don't stray away for too long.

Haha, I'm not really going anywhere. I am just going to stop my racetam use for a month or so. I'll still be here discussing and researching.
