It's a very short-acting drug (half-life is 2 hours or so). While the antidepressant effect seems to be a long-term one, there is also a direct stimulant effect.
Anyway, there is a withdrawal syndrome which can be quite severe; it may not happen if you only miss one dose, but then again it may. If you're quitting, you should taper off slowly, of course.
