At its worst, I tried perphenazine. This was before I tried antidepressants. It really didn't help.
I think Linkadge and Sigismund are right about the exposure to extreme stress as being a trigger for D&D.
Can you identify those things that were the stressors at the time you fell into the oblivion of D&D? For me, it was the loss of a girlfriend mixed in with a whole lot of other stuff. Once triggered, it came on very quickly. It felt something like what I would imagine going on a LSD trip would be, and getting stuck in the trip. It took years to dissipate to the point where I am no longer bothered by it.
It was imipramine that made such a huge difference while I was in the midst of it. It allowed me to emerge from the depression, cleared and energized my head, and made everything seem real.
