hi ilove maui-
sorry you're suffering. i understand (my depression started at 14 and it's gotten worse as i've gotten older--i'm 38 now).
i've been going through a major depressive episode and recently started with a new pdoc who gave me back some hope. he told me he doesn't believe in treatment resistant depression, and whether true or not, his confidence bolstered mine.
i would look for a pdoc who "gets it," someone who is willing to work with you and explore your options. easier said than done, but that's the best place to start.
some of the posters here who are more med savvy can help you out with a better regimen, but i know there's at least one TCA that's great with OCD and can help with the trichotillomania. i believe luvox helps in this area too, though i can't say for sure. either way, it sounds like a med switch is necessary.
good luck,
