do bupropion instead. More affective as an antidepressant than SSRIs but can cause more anxiety. So caution advised.

I got it prescribed for smoking cessation, that’s what the doc wrote it for. But we discussed it’s use mainly to help my light chronic fatigue. And it does help with energy and motivation ime. Can make you a little jittery and don’t combine with other stims in high doses.
Also starts working faster than SSRIs and less side effects.

But if it is a very urgent matter. You can buy amphetamine or methamphetamine on the street and I can function as a great antidepressant for maybe a month before effects start fading. But a month to speak to a doctor and work out a treatment plan, maybe talk to a therapist on top of your daily duties can mean the world to severely depressed people.
But it can be extremely reinforcing so you will likely overdo it and it’s antidepressant effect will quickly lead to tolerance and much higher doses needed. This will bring you poor sleep. Even more depressed on the comedown.
So approach with caution. Imo Methamphetamine is the better choice because of its longer duration and more gentle on the body. To me it doesn’t promote the compulsive redosing as just AMPH.
