It's a crapshoot. Some work, some don't and it can depend on your genetics. I tried two and found I didn't like them. IIRC they aren't designed to be used for more than say 6 months so you would want to wean off them by then if you can. Some people take very low doses. (aka half or less of what they were Rx'ed and it still works for them).

Other alternatives to do/take at the same time besides exercise and diet are:SLEEP. Sleep 8 hours daily and keep the same sleep schedule daily. Vitamin d levels. You can ask for those to be tested. If its super low then it can affect mood. Multivitamin. If you eat like shit you feel like shit and will still need vitamins. Omega 3. If you don't eat fatty fish like salmon mackrel or tuna 1 x per week you might be deficient. They help with mood. Magnesium. Most people can benefit frrom more magnesium because they don't get enough in the diet. Try an epsom salt bath and or buy mag citrate. Taking it before bed can help sleep. Might make you pee though! Taking large doses of magnesium for a few days is studied in a trial as working for depression. Sauna. Sitting in a sauna for the studied times just once (20-30 minutes iirc) reduced depression for 6 weeks.

Im prolly lacking vitamin D.. my diet isn't that great either. But I get plenty of sleep, as I said I spend most of my time in bed. Though I don't think I get solid decent sleep more like several naps long throughout the day about 3-4 hours each. But I really do nothing besides lay in bed all day, just don't feel like doing anything... and there are lots of things I know I need to do..
