Hi there ~
I understand your concerns and appreciate the fact that you have listed your medications. I wonder if you have had your TFTs recently. If not please get them as poor thyroid levels due to hypothyroidism deteriorating would make things worse. I also think that optimizing your antidepressant medications should solve the problems as well. Adding an adjuvant medication like duloxetine or desvenlafaxine or mirtazapine or bupropion may make you feel better, however you need to consult a psychiatrist regarding the same. I also think that sleep disturbances can be addressed during the same visit as well. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day!
