Yes, my war has been going on for about 35 years. With the exception of a 9-month remission, I have been chronically and severely depressed. Not fun.
Here's another idea. Prazosin. It is an old antihypertensive that shows efficacy in treating PTSD, anxiety, and depression where chronic childhood trauma, abuse, or neglect has taken place. This drug has acted as a potent antidepressant for me in combination with the other drugs I take.

One more. Minocycline. It has been shown that this antibiotic also acts as an antidepressant for some people. It is supposed to be helpful in combination with a tricyclic, but it can work well without one. Right now, the two people I know who are having success with minocycline both take Abilify along with it.
