Strattera comes to mind -- I took it for a while as an antidepressant, and it was actually pretty good for me. It might have been, oh, a tad activating -- and I've finally accepted that I'm a little activated to begin with ;-)
Seriously, though -- Strattera was a pretty friendly drug for me, with very few side effects. It caused menstrual changes, may or may not have had something to do with a concurrent increase in anxiety symptoms -- I now think it was primarily situational, but at the time I attributed it to the med -- and it didn't cause any of the problems other meds had caused me like apathy, constipation, weight gain, etc.
If you haven't tried it, it's probably worth talking to your doctor about it.
Good luck.
