I was diagnosed as suffering from depression about a year ago after some problems in my life.
I was put into hospital for a few weeks after an overdose where they put me on Prozac. I was up and down like a yoyo.
When I moved back to my home in Leicestershire after about 2 months, my doctor changed me onto Effexor XL, taken twice a day. I can't say that the change was instant or miraculous, but after a couple of weeks, my mood seemed to level out.
Instead of being perfectly happy one moment and overdosing an hour later, I became much more stable. It doesn't make you happy, or take away the depression, but I found that I was able to function more like a normal human being.
Apparently Effexor XL is modified release to keep you more stable, and I would recommend it.

I agree with what you say about Effexor and I'm sorry that you have to take it, but I'm pleased it is working for you.

Good luck - I know it's not easy. Nothing I've tried has been much use.
