Wait! Have you tried lexapro and nortriptyline?
The addition of nortriptyline to an SSRI is a good augmentation strategy. The use of sertraline specifically, is probably no better than any other SSRI.
Lexapro can be a very effective SSRI, and unless it is doing zip for you, there would be no reason to suggest that sertraline would be more effective.
I would save yourself the double switch and try just adding nortriptyline first. Then, if this is innefective *perhaps* try switching to zoloft.
I didn't find zoloft all that effective. Celexa (for me) was much better with a TCA.
