You could always try the Abilify at a low dose (half a pill at night) for a while, just to see how you respond to it. I have heard good things about it, although I responded very badly to it.
Everything about your history makes me think Parnate! Parnate!
Parnate is a MAOI that not only is extraordinarily effective as an antidepressant, but is NOT associated with weight gain and actually has a stimulating effect. It is ideal for people who feel immobilized and "leaden" because of depression. It also has very few other side effects and doesn't make one feel numb or stupid. The main issue is diet and drug interactions, but many think the effect of the drug is more than worth the trouble.
