I will try my best to help,please provide details

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your situation.
In your query you have narrated less information about your problem while more about your experience with psychologist.

If Effexor has not work, there are medicines which can help you.
To help you more specifically I need following details:

Since when your problem started and how?

Provide detail about past and current symptoms.

If feasible please provide detail of medicines(name,dose and duration) or send me photos of prescriptions because if manic depression is diagnosis, lithium or lamotrigine should be there.

Also let me know your family,education and occupation history in brief.

Do you have any other physical problem? If yes,are you taking medicine for the same? Which one?

Any other specific thing you would like to tell if you feel relavant to your problem.

Waiting for your reply,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
