I'm not a doc nor any kind of professional and I don't know your situation, but you obviously know you need help and your doc isn't listening. Have you tried any old Tricyclic Anti-depressants? Sometimes they can help when other newer AD's don't. I have taken verapamil with a night-to-day change, although my doc said this can be a sign of bipolar rather than unipolar depression. Amytriptyline has been good for me, I've had no weight gain though my appetite seems good. No sexual problems from it and decent nights sleep for the first time in my life. I hope someone will listen to you, my heart goes out to you. I have trouble communicating with docs, some just don't seem to care or listen for some reason. Find someone who will care and listen, and I know that can be harder than it sounds. Good luck!
