You might want to look into Lamictal. It's a drug used to combat the depressive side of bipolar, and now it's being used for unipolar depression. I take 100 mg along with an MAOI (Nardil), and it's really helped me.

And I'd definitely consider getting a referral to a psychiatrist. I sought treatment from my GP for awhile, but he simply is not familiar or skilled enough with pyschotropics to treat me most effectively.

Also, I agree with others who mention therapy. You might be able to do this through school. If not, your doc can probably provide some referrals. A lot of the literature suggests that meds and therapy together are more likely to lead to remission versus one or the other alone.

Good luck. Depression can be horribly debilitating. I hope you find what's the best course of treatment for you.
