I agree with Meri-Tuuli...st johns wort and rhodiola rosea are amazing herbs. Take one or take both.
And don't rule out electroconvulsive therapy. ECT has a success rate of 70% - 90% (the 70% range is for the elderly), with minor side effects compared to what you've experienced from meds and depression. ECT is for people who do not respond well to meds or who cannot take meds due to side effects and when a rapid response is desired.
Of the 20 or 30 meds I've ever taken, nothing, I mean nothing, ever worked nearly as good as the Kira brand st johns wort.
