There are still plenty of options. More than enough to keep you busy for years and years. However, it shouldn't take that long.
Usually when people stop antidepressants, and then restart them again only to discover they don't work as well the second time around, must end up taking more than one drug to achieve full response. In your case, something tells me an antipsychotic combined with your favorite antidepressant could be worth exploring. Tricyclics too, though the side effects are troublesome.
I noticed lots of little clues and hints in your post. They all pointed in one direction....Zyprexa. I wouldn't try it by itself though. Instead, combine it with your favorite antidepressant so far.
That would be my top pick for your next move. There are plenty of others.
