I'd recommend trying Lamictal. I had a similar experience with SSRIs as none really helped my depression. Lamictal has done the trick though. However it does take a while to get up to a good dose (100mg+) since you have to titrate slow to avoid the rash. But of all the meds I've been on (SSRIs, MAOIs, Lithium, Depakote, ADHD meds) it's the one that's really helped get rid of the low end of my spectrum. Not euphoric - but not depressed....

Have some good info and patient reviews.

Good luck!
