Gentle Stimulant (Amphetamin)?

[Joepublic]

Hi! I just joined the forums, and had a question. Please bear with me as it's kind of longwinded . I've had problems with depression ever since I was about 14, and I'm currently 19. I've tried sertraline,
with pretty good success, but couldn't live with the side effects
(rashes, bad acne and weight gain). I'm currently taking a 50mg 5-HTP
supplement (with B vitamins and Valerian Root) before bed to boost my
serotonin/melatonin to help me get some REM sleep, which relieves my
depression. But a problem that neither the sertraline or 5-HTP
addresses is a kind of daytime drowsiness. My energy level is fine, but
I can't wake up! Caffeine helps a little bit, but not enough, even with
a pot of coffee. My glands are in order, and I'm not anemic, it just
seems to be a permanent side effect of my chemical imbalance. I was
wonderning if there was something in the amphetamin family, that was
stronger than caffeine (I know, an alkaloid), but not as strong or
addictive as methamphetamin, that I could take in the morning and have
last for about 12-16 hours. Thanks in advance!</font>
