>>> A couple of meds that I gave one day trials were Effexor: absolutely hated it and could not leave the couch. Prozac had me very agitated and paranoid. Wellbutrin gave me a full blown panic attack. Serzone I kind of liked in a Zoloft sort of way. <<<
How can you possibly decide if a medicine will help you if you have given it a ONE DAY trial? You need to give these meds 4-8 weeks before you decide if they are helping you or not.
Good luck with your doctor, but if you are going to judge something after one day, I can say with a good deal of certainty that you will never find a medicine that works.
I think you need to see a psychiatrist (not your GP) and have them give you a diagnosis, then go from there. If you continue what you are doing now, I am sure that you will not find any happiness.
