Didrex is a stimulant that is similar to an amphetamine. Benzphetamine is an appetite suppressant that affects the central nervous system.
Didrex is used together with diet and exercise to treat obesity (overweight).
I could find no reference to treating depression and it can actually cause depression as a side effect when discontinuing the medication.
Since it affects the central nervous system like amphetamines it might give you an energy boost but it would be prescribed as an off-label use.
I hope this helps and doesn't discourage you.
