Here's some stuff that you may consider:
Nefazodone - great for sleep; no sexual dysfunction; no anticholinergics side-effects.
Lamotrigine - good side-effect profile; most antidepressant properties
Carbamazepine - less side effects than Lithium or divalproex sodium
Topiramate - the newest mood-stabilizer; it promotes weight loss
Desipramine - the least side-effects of all the Tricyclics; one of the SNRIs
High-dose Venlafaxine - at higher doses Venlafaxine affects more chemicals than SSRIs.
Buspirone - an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic at high doses.
Dopamine Agonists - Pramipexole has two studies on it (I took it for a while).
"Power Combinations" - Remeron+Effexor; Wellbutrin+Remeron, Remeron+Prozac
Augmentation of anything you have tried before with Lithium, Pindolol, or Buspar (i take pindolol now)
Atypical Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics with antidepressant properties: Risperidone, Olanzapine, Seroquel, Zeldox
Provigil - a stimulant that is possibly effective
Irreversable MAOIs - Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine. Extremely Effective.
MAOI-B - Selegiline, an antidepressant almost comparable to Phenelzine.
