I feel for you. It is hard to know what to do when things go weird.
For sure I would not add another medication. The losers, whichever ones they are, have to go. Bring on board something new. I see people pile new meds on top of failing meds all the time, and then end up with a laundry list of a cocktail and they are no better than they were on just 2 or 3 meds. So, maybe some weeding is in order?
I don't want to bore you with my long explanations of why I feel the way I do. Just know that I have good reason to say these things:
Savella (true SNRI) added to current combo, with lower doses of pristiq and adderall.
Savella without the others.
Zoloft + Nortriptyline (true SNRI, not the wannabe fake called effexor).
If you are into your own med choices, amisulpride.
Clean up the food choices if not squeaky clean healthy stuff.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
