I agree with SLS, Zyprexa is a good one to buy some time. Call your GP, explain the situation in a heartfelt way with honesty, and ask him respectfully to call your pharmacy with a phone prescription of 6 pills of 5mg Zyprexa. Try 2.5mg to start and feel it out from there. It is not likely a cure, but will buy you some time to relax and not dwell as you wait. You can even take it as needed, not necessarily every day.
All the neurotransmitter systems are intricately linked together. One cannot directly impact one without indirectly impacting the others. So while you have hesitation in messing with dopamine, keep in mind that with various ssris, as you pointed out, you already have.
Honestly I have seen very few anecdotal reports of deprenyl helping anyone very much. Most people do get an initial lift from it due to its small short-lived metabolite amphetamine component, but that often fades quickly. I think claims on the internet about deprenyl are overstated almost to the point of hype. Sure it sounds great on paper, but try finding people at forums like this one saying how good it was. Very rare. If you are into ordering your own meds, much better choices in my mind would be Amisulpride and/or Milnacipran.
I have tried every drug you've been on and every one in this discussion, so none of them are foreign to me. I say what I say because I know what their effects feel like.
The main priority right now is to buy some time until Jan 13. Among the suggestions you receive, the most important one is to keep a phone handy. If you find yourself planning a tragic move, you have to dial 9-1-1. Family and friends may at first be shocked at the development, but months later will be so proud and respectful of you. It shows that beyond your own suffering, you care about them more. Taking yourself out of this world will not remove any pain from them. It does the opposite of what a depressed person thinks it would do. It gives family and friends unbearable grief that will haunt them the rest of their lives, in a way that no other means of death would. A grief that is multitudes greater than the grief of knowing their loved one is struggling.
