Definitely time for a consult. It is hard for me to understand why he would take you off effexor (and make you go through that hell) and then put you right back on it again. And, no, ECT is not necessarily the next step--you have definitely not tried that many combos of meds.
His frustration is apparent and it seems to me that he is used to dealing with "simple" cases where one med works. You need a doc who can give you a sense of hope because he is willing to try different strategies.
Good for you for asking you mom for financial help with this. There is nothing more important.
