I send you my best wishes SLS!
I recall so many stories similar to yours and others. One of many examples. A guy at revolution health had been through the MAOIs. Was now on Cymbalta, not great but fair, added Wellbutrin, still not good, then added Milnacipran to the mix and whammo remission!
Speaking of which, now that it is a USA drug, it could be placed on your backup radar screen.
Effexor and TCA sounds like a promising mix.
I won't go into some of the other oddball things I think you should try (strategies, challenges, off-the-path agents) because I know you are a concrete psych drug kind of guy. But as long as the toolbox is going to be limited to just brain altering psychotropic agents, your chosen combination sounds like one with high odds of winning to me.
