> Buprenorphine + MAOI of your choice + dopamine agonist (I like cabergoline; no sedation) (if side effects are not the issue, I liked phenelzine the best) is by far the best "TRD-ish" combo I've ever tried. If one added memantine to it, I'll bet that would substantially potentiate it.

Are you still taking cabergoline?
I think memantine is worth trying, however, people report that it seems to be of limited use because its most robust antidepressant effects wane very quickly - usually within two to three weeks. I was disappointed in it. My guess is that it makes for a better opioid augmentor than an antidepressant/stimulant potentiator.
