> I don't understand how Stimulants can be used to augment antidepressant therapy. I read that combining these 2 can cause Serotonin syndrome.

Where did you read that? I have never heard this, nor can I imagine what mechanism might be involved. As I understand it, stimulant augmentation is a pretty well-known strategy. Look through the article below. The author has a pretty common-sense approach and uses stimulants to augment antidepressants when a patient is low on energy.
