Next depression, I'm just going to wait it out. Maybe let it kill me or get so desperate I go back on yet another drug but, not because they work. The side effects are so distracting, like a bad habit. But you can always quit the drugs so, there's false hope.

I'm sorry to hear this, but I'm interested to hear more and willing to help if there's any I can give. SSRIs are all fairly similar given their effects on serotonin, but bupropion has a far greater affinity for dopamine (which does explain the increased appetite if you're susceptible to it). Why won't you bother with venlafexine and other SNRIs? If that fails, there is always hope in the tricyclics. Depression isn't something you should have to "wait out", as there are drugs out there that will work for you and with minimal side-effects. If you're desperate I know how hard it can be to find the right one though.
