Venlafaxine/Effexor could give you partial relief, and in a while you may be able to talk the doctor into adding a stimulamt to augment it, which would be very reasonable for someone who has tried several first- and second-line meds to no avail. I was on Effexor plus Concerta for a few years.
Even if venlafaxine doesn't work out, it sounds like it would be evidence/show good faith on your part to the new doctor that you are willing to work with her, and she may be willing to try one of your suggestions next.
(I had no discontinuation trouble tapering off of Effexor, by the way, so you don't necessarily need to worry about that time.)
