Sorry to hear you have to live with chronic pain. That's never helpful to depression.
Have you had a good endocrine workup, not just thyroid? Have you gone through menopause? (sorry don't know your gender for sure and apologize for the very personal question) If you are or are not on hormonal replacement, on the Pill, or could be perimenopausal (the 3-5 years prior to menopause) your own depression might be being affected by low or fluctuating hormone levels.
If memory is a problem, are you completely sure ADD is not an issue (quiz at www.mindfixers.com)?
Usually if antidepressants just don't work there's some reason.
