Please understand that this is based only on my limited experience.
You might look into Strattera. It is officially an ADHD med, but I take it for depression. Specifically, it did give me significantly more energy (actually, I have to take both Strattera and Provigil - either alone isn't nearly as good. I don't know if other people could get the result with one or the other). Strattera also does promote weight loss. I also take Prozac and Lithium (but they gave me the 12 months of no energy until we tried the Provigil and Strattera). My (limited) understanding is that you don't want to take Only Strattera for depression (it doesn't work on serotonin), but as an augmentation med it can be really good.
Good luck!
