Shame on me, I should have read your post more thoroughly. I agree with Racer, anyone who tells you you've tried "all the meds out there" is wrong. I *used* to have the best psychopharmacologist, and he would take sometimes combinations of three or four medications, and tweak them every 6 months or so, and YES you can feel entirely differently.
And I have. I never ever would have believed it.
I can't even describe the difference, as depression is so hard to describe..My rather somber response was due to the fact that the place I live now is not nearly so progressive and flinch (or refuse) at prescribe anything but the most currently acceptable medication, as well as a nasty cycle I seem to have gotten into which involves external factors.
Please don't give up, I'm really sorry I hadn't read about the medications you'd tried thoroughly. Mixing Paxil and Wellbutrin that's kidstuff! There is a lot more out there.
It's scary that your life can be decided by the stroke of a Doctors pen.
