I have another medicine you want to try and that is Lyrica (pregabalin). It should be literally on the shelves within a few months hopefuly in the USA, butits available in Europe. It has done wonders for my low grade depression. Until you can get it, you may want to try its predessor, Neurontin at the higher dose range.
As another poster suggested, Provigil works very well. 100-400mg range but you might have trobule sleeping unless you have sleep meds.
My final suggestion which is relavent to probably half the people here is that you have some sort of chronic infection or immune abnormality. I would get a very comprehensive panel for numerous diseases, + CBC/diff etc, Thyroid etc... Inflammation is a huge cause of low grade depression and anxiety that is not realized in the medical community.
A trial of the antibiotic minocycline sometimes is a cheap way of determining this.
All the best,
