I'm about to be somewhat unhelpful here :), but if you could maybe describe more of your symptoms, those of us (like me) who haven't had the chance to follow your story on this board could offer some more (well, more or less) informed suggestions.
Also maybe tell us what you've tried in the past that hasn't worked.
From what I know of the antidepressant racket, we seem to have drugs that affect the norepinephrine reuptake pump and drugs that affect the serotonin one, and then a few that do other odd things (like agonize or blockade certain serotonin and norepineprine receptors). Docs seem generally reluctant to prescribe dopaminergic agents for depression, for whatever reasons...
If you're looking for a drug effectively free of serotonergic effects, desipramine (a TCA) and reboxetine (a newish NARI) are two norepineprine-only drugs.
Oh, and I found an imperfect list of AD's here:

Let me try, this is Tony C.
Some TRI-CYCLICS (TCA's) are : Amitryptiline, Protriptyline, Nortriptyline, Trimipramine, Lofepramine, Impramine, Dothiepin, Clompramine ...
Some MONO AMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS (MAOI) : Tranylcypromine, Phenizine, Isocarboxazid ...
Some SELECTIVE SEROTONIN RE-UPTAKE INHIBITORS (SSRI's) and similar others but not SSRI's : Prozac, Paxil, Efexor, Zoloft, Cipramil, Faverin, Serzone/Nefazodone, Celexa, Luvox, Trazodone, Remeron, Parnate, Lexapro, Celexa, Wellbutrin, Pamelor, there is so many, I can count and I am not sure exactly whick class they are all in, there is also one called REBOXETINE,
Then I hear when all ELSE has failed they use a real heavy hitter called TRYPTOPHAN (OPTIMAX) used by Specialists to treat SEVERE Depression when all else has failed, but I heard this drug may cause EOSINOPHILLA-MYALGIA which is Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome it was first recognized in 1989 in New Mexico. Three women sought medical help for a mysterious, undiagnosable condition whose symptoms were marked by debilitating muscle pain and a high Eosinophilia count (a type of white blood cell that is usually found when a toxin or parasitic infection is present). It was eventually discovered that all of the women had one thing in common: they had been taking Tryptophan. There is so many more, I cannot list them, hope this helps you somewhat.
Sincerely - Tony C.
