Hi
Most of the above sound like depression symptoms, ( though your formulation of this post, suggest that your cognitive faculties are above average!)Maybe the SSRI'S didn't do much for your original depression. ( They didn't for me)
Have you tried an MAOI ? Manerix, Parnate or Nardil, and maybe add on something for libido. ( Tongkat Ali complex, works as good as Viagra with the advantage of increased libido) And of course all those so called "Nootropics", check first, as MAOI's restrict quite severely what one can add on.
