Just from your symptoms it sounds like a case for Zoloft or Paxil but it sounds like the SSRIs were not helpful. I have read mixed things about TCAs--some say they are more effective, some say they are the same as SSRIs but better tolerated. Amitryptaline might be a reasonable thing to try. What happened with the Wellbutrin? I am curious because my depression sounds a lot like yours, and Wellbutrin was the only drug that made me manic. It was great while it lasted.
Is your talk therapy turning up anything? I am a fan of deep, struggling, psychoanalytic therapy along with meds.
