Hi Scott,
This is only from my experience but if you see some hope from an AD that may boost your depression baseline I would stick with it and look for some type of augmentation that may clear up your remaining symptoms.
For the apathy/lethargy I found help with Mirapex. It also helped lift my anhedonia problems. It is definitely not a stand alone AD but it has helped to get me off my ass and doing things in the real world again.
I don't have the agitation problems so much but I think that is in part because I have been on Zyprexa for a long time.
A lot of people here seem to find Lamictal to be a good augmentation strategy. I've never tried it but looking at some of the posts on this board it is on my short list of things to try should I run into some form of poopout.
My main suggestion though, would be to look into Mirapex to get rid of some of that apathy.
Best wishes,
Chris
