Would this also help with depression?

I am quite keen to try wellbutrin next (on its own). And I think my GP would be okay with this. I live in the UK, and GPs won't prescribe much, plus wellbutrin isn't actually available, he would have to do it 'off label' and therefore it would be Zyban. It was a toss up between reboxetine and wellbutrin when I saw him last and I went for the rebox. He was really okay with it - I went to him and was like 'look, its not working with ciprmail, but maybe wellbutin or rebox would be good' and I showed him printed stuff out and he was like 'it looks like you've done all the hard work!' Perhaps if I went in and was like.....'lets try the ritalin!' he wouldn't bat an eyelid.......my flatmates are primary teachers and they say that some of the kids are on ritalin.....if kids can be prescribed it, then surely me! LOL!!!!!!!
Or maybe I can buy Provigil or something online..
Thanks Linkage afor all your helpful advice and support....!
Warm regards
