I am not sure what to tell you, since I know the success of treatment varies from person to person. Don't despair though, you haven't exhausted the list of possible drugs or combinations by any means. You have barely dabbled in the ssri class which is what is helping many many people today, myself included. (I take prozac, buspar, and depakote). You may want to ask your doctor about depakote. It has a lot fewer side affects than lithium and can actually prevent headaches.
I know how it is. I have just started to get out from under a cloud that has dogged me for about a year now because I think (and hope) I have finally found a cocktail of meds that works for me. It took a lot of experimentation though. Always remember you are strong for going through this, and although people won't see it, you are brave for facing this demon.
Best of Luck.
