Ye. Increasing your serotonin makes you tired, makes sense. Zoloft is sertraline, Lustral in many countries.
Try Edronax (reboxetine), it's a selective noradrenergic AD. It is expensive,but wort the try. If you can't afford it, try Effexor in the higher doses (225mg+ a day). Another option is Wellbutrin. Also, if neither is helping your depression, you may try combining any AD with thyroxine, which is a thyroid hormone.
Do you have any other disturbance in addition to depression ? Are you anxious ? Is you mood labile ? Persoality disorders ?

All SSRIs are also norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors to some (but not overwhelming) extent. Zoloft also has effects on dopamine, which are 1/3 of those of amphetamine ! So, now we know that nothing isreally "selective". However, Effexor acts far more than SSRIs or Norepinephrine. It is stroger than Remeron in this sense, somewhat weaker than Serzone, and much weaker than Edronax (a real noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor).
