I would second your suggestion to investigate bupropion. More than a decade ago I was suffering from severe depression. Psychiatrists with meds were an easy-to-access front line treatment, but I was very concerned about SSRI side effects, particularly erectile side effects. It didn't take much persuading to have the psychiatrist prescribe bupropion instead of an SSRI. I too felt it helped with my then undiagnosed ADHD a lot.

As a note, bupropion did make me feel a little funny. It wasn't bad, weird, or intolerable, but yes I did have a faint perceptual awareness that I was in a medicated state.
