I'd try a few more ADs before considering ECT. Maybe ECT will help--I'm sure you've done the research--but it is not a controlled treatment.

You say maois are the worst--but have you tried anything other than moclobemide? Often different chemicals in the same class have quite different effects, if the effects come from a different part of the molecule. Unless you're convinced it's the mao inhibition that's causing the depression, you could try another one.

Maois don't cause reuptake inhibition--they change the amount of the neurotransmitters, because they suppress production of an enzyme that breaks them (the neurotransmitters) down. That's a different process.
