Dear crazychickuk,
I'm no pdoc, but it sounds to me like you've got every symptom of severe depression. When I was diagnosed with Major Depression I was experiencing most of the things you listed. One really good list of possible symptoms is at http://www.gospelcom.net/cdp/info/info.htm#is
Even though its from a christian perspective the list is still applicable to anyone :
Lethargy (everything seems just too much trouble to do)
disturbed sleep (early waking, difficulty getting to sleep)
waking up tired after a "normal" night of sleep)
lack of concentration
irritability
exhaustion
lack of sexual drive
sensation of utter despair
sense of hopelessness or uselessness of everything
fear of death
phobias
obsessional behaviour
permanent sense of anxiety
feelings of wanting to cry, but inability to do so
thoughts of suicide, or fear of committing suicide
change in appetite and weight
other symptoms, this is not a definitive list ...I also felt that I just couldn't love others as much as I used to.
I'd suggest you talk to your doctor. Believe it or not, you haven't exhausted the list of antidepressants, or the list of treatment options.
Remeron was the first AD that worked for me (you don't have to have the sol-tab version). Then Wellbutrin.
Goodluck!
