I like the idea mentioned by Racer, of using Provigil. There are recent studies showing it is useful for bipolar depression, which is tough to treat. Therefore, it undoubtedly has both antidepressant and activating effects. It has been used to augment antidepressants in unipolar depression.
Here's the reference to the latest study in bipolar depression, and one on unipolar--
Frye MA A placebo-controlled evaluation of adjunctive modafinil in the treatment of bipolar depression
Am J Psychiatry. 2007 Aug;164(8):1242-9.Menza MA Modafinil augmentation of antidepressant treatment in depression. J Clin Psychiatry. 2000; 61(5):378-81
