I've been taking the mild synthetic opioid buprenorphine (Subutex). It's not a total cure of all my problems, but capital-D Depression is gone from my life, and my incremental improvement continues.
Bupe carries some stigma and a risk of mild physical dependency. Pdocs are notoriously misinformed about it, so it's hard to get. I put a list of links & bupe threads here:
