I don't know what to say except that you can't give up yet. It is not your time yet. You have been through so much, and I know it must be hard to believe or even continue to have hope that things will get better. But please try to hold on to some sliver of strength and hope, if not for yourself then for those who love you and care about you. I know this will sound stupid, especially with all you have been through and continue to go through, but these first two months of the year, I find, can really compound feelings of despair. I know that longer days and more sunshine are not going to send your depression into remission, but sometimes these things help us better cope with our feelings our despair.
With respect to treatment, I had come across in my reading that augmenting a MAOI with a TCA is used sometimes in treatment resistant depressions. There is a person on this board who recently added, if I am remembering right, Nortriptyline to Parnate.
My thoughts are with you. Please do not lose hope yet.
