Since you seem to be stressing the IRRITABILITY part, it brings to mind the place where bipolar meets borderline (are lots of theories on this).
For this, there's a combination of Prozac (start 1st, take daily for 1 week), then add Tegretol (mood stabilizer).
I can't tolerate Prozac, but Tegretol helps me big time with IRRITABILITY, plus your list indicates you haven't tried Tegretol yet (don't mistake it for Trileptal, it's chemical cousin - very different effects). Tegretol is great for anxiety also.
Hope this helps.
