Tom,
Don't give up buddy. These things can be hard to get a hold of - especially since everyone reacts differently to meds. I have struggled with my wife in the same area. The best thing that worked for her was getting OFF of Effexor. It actually made her more depressed after being on it for 6 months. It wasn't easy coming off (had to go slowly), but the more it was reduced the better she felt.
While we were reducing the Effexor she was stated on a vitamin program. It REALLY REALLY helped!! Many people with depression have simple vitamin and mineral problems. Vitamin B's are great and Fish Oil is awesome. These things in combination with some other supplements have been the most helpful thing for her ever (and they aren't hard on your body). They took a few months to kick in, but are doing a great job.
Look into it Tom - search "orthomolecular psychiatry" on the web.
My prayers and thoughts will be with you - don't give up.
