I'm so sorry Racer. Geez. I know that place you're at all too well. Not doing well myself right now either. I think one of the worst feelings in the world, on top of the existing depression, is the despair of not knowing what to do next. For me anyway. I'm not sure how I get up and face another day each day. What "normal" people don't even have think about and just take for granted, we have to work at with excruciating effort and pain.
I do not have many medication suggestions. I do know that wellbutrin caused me the exact feelings you described, except they started about 2 days into treatment and it was bad enough that I couldn't keep going with it. Although wellbutrin is a mild NE DA uptake inhibitor, it "felt" to me like it shut down NE and DA release or firing.
Prozac plus zyprexa combination is the only thing that came to my mind. The combination will increase the firing of dopamine and norepinephrine. I know you've already had prozac. Not sure if you had zyprexa along with it. The combinataion is way better than either med alone.
Wishing you a smoother day than yesterday.
