What about slowly adding some lamotrigene (Lamictal in the US)? It has mood stabilizing/antidepressant effects and is the only one that adds some pep to my step when I cannot otherwise get out of bed or lose complete interest and motivation. If there is any family history of bipolar it could be very dangerous to add another antipressant. Lamictal is pharmacologically an anticonvulsant and the side effect to be concerned with is a rash that can in extremly rare cases be very serious. It is generally avoided by adding the med in very slow increments. It is the med I have tolerated the best and it has helped me the most. No med is perfect and everyone responds differently.
