I'm no doctor, but I wonder if your meds might be overkill. Have you checked for drug interactions on all of them? Yes, our docs are supposed to, but I always do too just to be safe. Drugs.com is one of many sites where you can check interactions on multiple meds.
Also, I'm wondering if the combination of any of those could be making you feel worse. I once had a problem with topomax and lamictal. Each med on its own was great, but the combination of the two made me more depressed than I can ever remember.
As for therapy, I've found it helpful to see someone continuously. Touching base with my therapist once a month has helped me deal with stress before I feel overwhelmed. I've been doing this for almost 18 years and it has helped tremendously.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
