If you've tried ALL of the other ADs, then it probably won't work. It's mode of action is supposedly weak MAO-A inhibition. I think there are some other theories about how it works.
I'm not sure of this but I think even inhibiting MAO-A would have an impact on dopamine levels. I take it at a very low dose as a cheap way to keep my dopamine levels up while I'm asleep - not as an antidepressants. It keeps me awake, even with one pill. I had the opposite effect with nozinal which I used artificially to induce sleep. Sure it's hard to sleep now, but eventually things will even out again I hope.... that doctor better have had a very good reason for medicating me the way he did.
BTW: It's spelled Wort, not wart.
