I have similar symptoms and have tried all your supplements except Birth control pills (I am a man). The only supplement of yours I can recommend is fish oil (no more than 4 gram).
You could be histadelic (high histamine) considering your allergy.
Histadelics should avoid b12 and folic acid. These supplements will only make your symptoms worse.Evening Primrose oil has a short term energizing effect but it wears off and will worsen your depression. The body uses GLA for producing both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Your fatigue could be a sign of inflammatory prostaglandins. It is really gambling with your health taking GLA.
My recommendation for depression is st john wort (600 mg) and/or seroctin (700 mg), zinc 20 mg, fish oil (2-4 gram)
