Hi Justin,
You sound kind of like me! I assume you've tried St. John's wort. I found that very helpful after taking the highest dosage recommended (I can't remember what that was) for a month. If you're willing to take a prescription, the first drug I'd recommended would be Lamictal. It helps greatly with irritability and low mood, but I've only taken it in conjunction with an SSRI.
I've tried a number of natural supplements for depression and except for St. John's wort, nothing worked for me, but that's just me. What are you taking now? Some people I hear are getting results with folic acid (Deplin, by prescription), but again added to an antidepressant. Also, SAM-E may be a good option, but I've never been able to afford it!
