I'm about to be somewhat unhelpful here :), but if you could maybe describe more of your symptoms, those of us (like me) who haven't had the chance to follow your story on this board could offer some more (well, more or less) informed suggestions.
Also maybe tell us what you've tried in the past that hasn't worked.
From what I know of the antidepressant racket, we seem to have drugs that affect the norepinephrine reuptake pump and drugs that affect the serotonin one, and then a few that do other odd things (like agonize or blockade certain serotonin and norepineprine receptors). Docs seem generally reluctant to prescribe dopaminergic agents for depression, for whatever reasons...
If you're looking for a drug effectively free of serotonergic effects, desipramine (a TCA) and reboxetine (a newish NARI) are two norepineprine-only drugs.
Oh, and I found an imperfect list of AD's here:
