Simple caffeine is a wonderful antidepressant for many people. Until tolerance kicks in, which is too bad, really. Many people have the same experience as me, that is, if you quit, because your doc tells you to (heart quiver, or something) and then you fall off the wagon a week or so later, you catch a REALLY GOOD BUZZ (or relief from depression; subectively, I would argue, about the same thing). I'm obsessed with Memantine, it may prevent tolerance with caffeine, as supposedly it does with PrescriptoStims . Some who don't respond to caffeine may think I'm exagerrating, but it's true for quite a number of people that caffeine is a powerful antidepressant....until tolerance develops. If that happens, and one must (for whatever reason) go through withdrawal, 1mg of Klonopin (Clonazepam) every 4 hours for 4 days helps immensly with caffeine withdrawal headaches.
