Lamictal has been very helpful for me with depression -a lot of people here seem to be helped by it, without too terrible side effects.
I don't know if you're in therapy, but it could potentially help with the irritability and anger, which sounds like one of your principal concerns. No doubt and understandably it feels completely out of your control, but a good therapist may be able to help with coping strategies so that it is stopped in its tracks before getting too fierce. Alongside working with your pdoc on medication regimens, strategies learned in therapy can often help with what medication alone cannot fully eradicate.
