It's happening again! Med suggestions? TRD

Well hi everyone, I'm going through hell again. I might have a new name but some things never change.
Depression, anxiety, insomnia, over sleeping, loss of appetite, constipation to the runs within the span of 6 hours is back. I have stopped working for the moment, I'm on sick leave with anxiety and depression....etc, you all understand. I've been like this for 20+ years. I've quickly established a medical support network. Great Dr/GP, psychologist and tomorrow I'm seeing a new psychiatrist. SUGGESTION PLS. I can't take anything that touches serotonin at all. So it's been a long and really tricky ride as I only just discovered the serotonin factor around 4-5 years ago.
Here's a list of meds that have worked in the past, for 6 months or longer before pooping out. I think I'll be off label boy from now on.
Provigil-Modafinil, best ever
Edronax-Reboxetine, good for the mind, bad side effects
Ritalin-Methylphenidate, 2nd best ever
Requip-Ropinirole, stopped due to excessive vomiting.
Rivotril-Clonazepam, it's been 4+ years and still going strong.
Meds that have caused me grief over the last 20+ years
TCA'S
Tofranil-Imipramine
Anafranil-Clomipramine
Protheiden-Doxepin
SSRI's
Aropax-Paroxetine, 5 days of pure hell
Cipramil-Citalopram
Prozac-Fluoxetine
Luvox-Fluvoxamine
Zoloft-Sertraline
SNRI's
Efexor XR-Venlafaxiene
Cymbalta-Duloxetine
Mood Stabilisers
Epilim-Sodium Valproate
Lamictal-Lamotrigine
Anti Psychotics
Zyprexa
Seroquel
Zeldox-Ziprasidone
Most benzos
Valium is OK in high doses.
the others do absolutely nothing
There's quite a few more but I can't remember them all
