Suggest Medication For Depression

It seems one of my 2 antidepressants is no longer helping. I started on 150 mg Imipramine, now up to 250 mg.100 mg Zoloft was added 20 yrs ago. Up to 200 mg there. Considering Welbutrin, Effexor, reduce Zoloft to 100 mg. Can my Primary Care Doctor do this? YYYY@YYYY Thank you.
