I'm a big believer in interviewing therapists in order to find the right one for me, at least the right one for right now in my life. Maybe those just weren't the right three for you?
As for ways to eliminate memories, there's no pill I know of. There are experiments under way right now, though, that I've read about to reduce PTSD symptoms, using medication and some sort of adjuctive therapy. I can't remember the details, and don't have time to look for it today. I think I found it in Psychiatric Times, though, so you could check there.
What apparently is getting pretty good results is EMDR. I don't know how well it works, or what sorts of things it works best on, but it might be worth looking in to for you.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
(And I'm sorry you've had such a bad time.)
