My experience has been the same as yours: when I've been very depressed, exercise is very tiring and doesn't seem to help-I just feel dizzy during and after. When the depression is milder, exercise works very well with medication-to the point that sometimes I feel "normal". But I've found it takes 1-2 hours exercise/day for there to be a really big effect. That's a big time committment-but worth it when it is working well.
