maybe antidepressants just aren't for you? xanax has been used with some success in treating highly anxious depressives. not ideal, but...there is now an xr form, which I would think would make dosing and possibly tapering easier.
there's also a number of stimulants available. ritalin was once very popular for some people with depression, so were the various amphetamines. provigil and nuvigil have been used in some people with good results, and those drugs are far less addictive than the old school stimulants. i seem to recall reading that some shrinks used Tenuate way back when, but I don't know if that's even still on the market.
other than that...I suppose some sort of 'atypical' tranquilizer might help, but I'd personally avoid tranquilizers -if- one can. they can be helpful, but they carry very serious risks throughout treatment, from day 1.
