I have tried a similar drug, Adrafinil (stimulates Alpha1 noradrenergic receptors). I can say that it is a great drug to take if you need to stay awake all night - its effect is fairly subtle, a kinder, gentler stimulant if you will. My experience was that it did nothing at all to improve mood though. If you have an atypical depression (oversleeping, lethargy) it could prove useful in combating those symptoms, but I wouldn't expect any relief from depression per se.
Might help with ADD.
YMMV, of course...
