I would suggest considering Wellbutrin, nortriptyline, and Parnate in that order. All of these have relatively low sexual side effects, and Wellbutrin and Parnate have overt dopaminergic effects that may be helpful for ADD symptoms. I have tried all of these and found Parnate to be the best overall, but it is an MAOI with consequent dietary and drug restrictions (which are really fairly easy to follow IMO).

I did not really start to make any real progress myself until I got away from heavily serotonergic drugs like the ones you mention and started trying drugs with much stronger effects on norepinephrine and dopamine. If you also have seasonal affective disorder (which I do not, but it is relatively common), I would suggest considering some of the therapies that seem to have some effectiveness for this, as well, if you haven't tried some of them already.
