If your meds are not helping by now, it is time to try something else..  Do you see a physc-doctor or a family practicioner?  If you are not seeing a physc-doctor than I would suggest you do.  
I'm on Prozac and have been on countless other antidepressants andi can't think of one that gave me energy.  The depression is what zaps your energy and motivation to do anything.  As you come out of your depression your energy level will increase.  
If your doctor is not listening to you or does not make some changes in your medications to help you, I would see another doctor.

Antidepressants usually take 4-6 weeks to see any effect and sometimes more.  Hopefully you are actually seeing a psychiatrist, not just a general practitioner.  One of biggest side effects of xanax is drowsiness, but it may go away after you've been on it for awhile.  These medications effect everyone differently, so you have to give it a few weeks, and then keep trying different meds until you reach the one (or a combination of meds) that works for you.  I have also suffered from many depressive episodes over the years.  I feel like I've tried every drug on the market, but I've finally found something that is working for me right now.  
Don't give up.  There are dozens of meds out there and something is bound to work for you.
