I don't respond well to APs either. I tried all that were on the market at the time (except the old ones) before we found that Seroquel worked. Don't give up hope, just keep trying and going slow and hopefully you'll find one that works with your chemistry. It can be a frustrating and picky process.
Have you had psychosis? If not maybe you need to try for more of a mood stabilizer like lamictal, depakote, trileptal, etc. Maybe you could tolerate those better.
There's always lithium which is different than anything else too.
I'm sorry it's so hard. I've been there (am there now) and I know it's so frustrating.
