Many people feel that the generic called bupropion he is most likely the least sedating, and potentially the most activating medicine used as an anti-depressant. Keep in mind that these must be careful he prescribed, because there are some reasons it may medically be a dangerous medicine in certain situations.Would strongly encourage you to discuss this with your favorite psychiatrist.
There are several non-sedating antidepressants. Your doctor will find one that will work best for your specific symptoms.
Welbutrin is likely the least sedating antidepressant.
Each person responds uniquely, but in general Bupropion is rarely associated with sedation.

In my experience all antidepressants impact people’s level of alertness very differently. I’ve had many patients tell me Effexor is not too sedating. They take in the morning. Probably even less risk of weight gain as well. Be careful to not mix medications - always check with your physician.
Everyone responds differently to each medication. Fluoxetine/Prozac (SSRI family) is usually not sedating. However, if it makes you feel a little tired, then take it at night.
