Hi Fee,
I'm from the UK so I know completely what you mean about the NHS.
I've had the same experience as you re poop out, only with me they didn't work the third time round which was frustrating considering I only came off them in the first place so that I wouldn't become tolerant to them. Anyway I started getting depressed again over year ago and I'm not too bad now with the help every now and again of Zyprexa, so don't give up.
I believe that if Zooloft no longer works for you then none of the SSRIs will either as I think they are all pretty much the same but with different side effects. All of the SSRIs used to work for me no matter which one I took, now none of them do but you may be different.
If I were you I wouldn't even bother with the SSRIs, try some of the others which have different modes of action. Effexor sounds like a good idea as it's not an SSRI.
If you want to try and speed up an appointment with your psychiatrist tell your gp that you are desparate and suicidal and you need to see the psychiatrist asap. I got to see one in a couple of weeks.
