I would suggest adding Wellbutrin, or even something more stimulating like provigil. Perhaps even something as strong as adderall...?
I had experienced a lot of daily exhaustion all my life, amongst other symptoms; finally found a good pdoc and after having been dx'd with ADHD my life has changed for the better dramatically. Only took me 4 years of different doctors telling me I was depressed and going from one antidepressant to the next with little to no success, to finally find what worked. I am not suggesting at all that you have any such symptoms, just making my story relate to yours :) The constant fatigue was a large damper on my day-to-day life, I started taking adderall and am actually alert and energetic now! Plenty of negative side effects come with stong stims like these though. Thusly I would recommend adding a mildly stimulating med like Wellbutrin, which may help with depression as well. Provigil would also seem an appropriate option for you. Should definately discuss this with your doctor -- Good luck.
