Without a list of options, I cannot determine which specific substance is not a depressant. However, generally speaking, depressants are drugs that reduce the activity of the central nervous system and slow down brain function. Examples include alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Valium and Xanax), and barbiturates. Substances that are not depressants are those that either do not affect the central nervous system in this way or those that increase the central nervous system activity, such as stimulants (like caffeine, cocaine, and amphetamines) or hallucinogens (like LSD and psilocybin).
