My opinion, just a few years out of College, is to cut to the chase and try an MAOI. I always thought of MAOIs (Parnate & Nardil) as taboo, outdated meds until about a year ago when I found a pdoc who had great success with them on a number of patients
I'm just bringing this topic up briefly with you because it is my guess that while you may have heard of MAOIs, that you never paid them much attention, haven't done any research on them and have never considered taking one of them. My advice to you would be to look into MAOIs (this message board is a fairly good place to start).
In my experience (and I just posted something to this effect earlier today) MAOIs seem to be the only medications that nobody regrets trying (this is most definitely not the case for Lexapro, Wellbutrin and the other meds that you have mentioned).
