Tommy, neurotransmitter threads are always interesting.  It's possible you may be among the infinitesimal minority of Lexapro and Wellbutrin users who have no other options. Odds are you are not.  I have personal experience with Lex (over a decade ago). The side effects were horrible even if it gave relief in certain areas. I was given Clon to offset.  Low T was really the issue but of course not identified as such or properly treated.  Withdrawal was rough.  One day I flushed every pill down the toilet instead of tapering off.  It was hell, especially because the underlying endocrine cause still had not been identified and wasn't to be for another ten years.  I've never regretted that decision.  


Solutions aren't to be found in a pill bottle.  Nootropics can help but only as part of a holistic approach.  You mention L-Citulline but what of ALCAR, NALT, and the others?  The health of the body and its organs affect how we feel and function so its wise to take such things as Silymarin, ALA and NAC alongside eating well and practicing individualized techniques which help realign things.


I dislike pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless they are valuable for short term interventions and, for a select few, necessary long term.  Only you can determine what is appropriate.


Word of caution:  If you try aminos be sure sure to follow timing and dosing recommendations especially if you buy bulk powders.  I went over the 300g/day recommendation for NALT and it wasn't fun.
