Struggling to find the right antidepressant

So I used to take zoloft 50mg back in 2019 when I was first diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Eventually it didn't work and I went on to 100mg. I had to stop and start Lithium 150mg as a mood stabilizer after being diagnosed with BPD in 2021 but it made me way too sleepy all the time. Then I stopped taking anything because I thought I could do it on my own but alas, stupid decision. So I started cymbalta and didn't that didn't last for more than a week. I started Lexapro instead but that made us realize I have Bipolar disorder so I was diagnosed with that and then put on Effexor and it has been hell. I'm on my moms extra Zoloft until I can see the doctor again on July 11th but with my story in mind, what sounds like a good antidepressant to go on. I also take Seroquel, Abilify, and Klonopin.
