Hey elbe,
another anti-depressant approach is the judicious use of opiates. I kid you not. In fact another babbler has been using them for acute pain & has noticed his depression lift too.
It's not mainstream because the opiates have been so commonly abused, but it depends what country you're in too.
If you're interested, here's an article: http://www.opioids.com/antidepressant/opiate.html that claims to be from the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Maybe print it out for your doc..??? Just say you'd like to "trial it". Might allay his/her fears a bit :)
Good Luck
M.
