Hello People,
I've been curious about something - are there any antidepressants that actually help increase energy levels instead of making you feel more tired or sluggish?

But it’s not a stimulant like Ritalin or Modafinil, so results vary. Some people feel more alert, while others just get anxious energy and end up stopping it.
