I have found that caffeine works better than anti-depressants. With anti-depressants I either quickly develop a tolerance to them, or they give me way too much on-edge energy.
"They" say caffeine is "bad" and interferes with medication. But I think most mentally ill people know that caffeine works, just don't overdo it.
I find that tea is too weak to provide relief. Coffee works really well. And a caffeine pill now and then gets the job done perfectly.
One note about really strong coffee I have to add: Long term use (several years of daily dosing) can create a minor ulcer-like pain in the small intestine. So I wouldn't suggest heavy coffee drinking for years at a time, "just for the hell of it." If you develop that "ulcer" just try to cut way back. I've noticed that the caffeine pill doesn't irritate the condition.

When it comes to caffeine pills, one is enough, two is an overdose. If you take more than one, you won't get high, you'll get sick.
So if you get that feeling like you're on the edge of death, have a cup or two of coffee and see how you feel. I bet you'll agree caffeine is a miracle.
