If you need a good antidepressant combo, ask your doc if you can try Zoloft (say 50mg at night) and nortriptyline (say 75mg at night) together with whatever mood stabaliser works best for you, Tegretol, Depakote, whatever.
The Zoloft works on Seretonin, the nortriptyline works on noradrenalin, thus delivering an "one-two" knockout punch to depression.
If your doctor doesnt want to prescribe two antidepressants, then either Cymbalta or Effexor would be reasonable ones to try.
