I hear you... all I can say is keep looking for an answer, keep searching for hope, and you WILL find help (But maybe not where you thought you would). Find a good therapist (Maybe one that's a little cheaper), and keep trying different drugs. If all else fails, try changing your lifestyle: try eating better, excercise, find new hobbies, meet new people, get away from major sources of depression in any way possible.
Have you ever tried stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall?
I think there are ways to get the Zoloft to work again too, although I'm not sure.
Oh, and if the zoloft worked so great, that means that there is something chemical that CAN be fixed. You should hold onto that as the key to your hope. There IS something that drugs can fix, and that is a GREAT, great thing to know.
