Give Zyprexa a try. It is the only thing that has given me relief when I've been at my complete wits end.
I'm not saying that Zyprexa will make you feel like skipping down the road, it doesn't work for me in the way an antidepressant does when it actually works but it seems to help me think more rationally and it actually gives me more physical energy.
Then again you don't want anything that will make you put on weight and there is a good chance you might do with Zyprexa. I just take Zyprexa now and again and I'm still slim but then I smoke which keeps the weight down but not a good idea.
Perhaps if you tried Zyprexa and then if it helps keep up a strict exercise regime.
It does sound to me like you might be slightly bipolar simply because you seem to sometimes have initial success and then it wears off (Scott has that problem) also your reaction to Lamictal seems so extreme. I felt nothing on Lamictal apart from more tired. Then again you could be atypical like you say. It's just all of the crying seems to me more symptomatic of bipolar than unipolar. But then what do I know, I just rarely cry when I'm depressed, I cry more when I'm not depressed strangely enough.
