when I'm very depressed, I do things somewhat similar...

you might want to try Provigil, although it is very expensive. I imagine many docs would also consider a trial run of Ritalin or one of the amphetamines (dexedrine, adderall, desoxyn) to see if that helps you out. You might be able to switch out one of the Antidepressants for a stimulant and get better results (or, if you're on a mood stabilizer, go for a mood stabilizer+stim combo). Stims are usually used for depression in older people and/or those w/ treatment-resistant depression. If you've had ECT and are still having mood issues, I would imagine you qualify as treatment-resistant.
