If you're going to try a topical hormonal cream, make sure they do your bloodwork first to see if your hormones are at the levels they should be - usually doctors prescribe an estrogen cream, which won't help if your blood work shows that you're not producing enough testosterone. In regards to the antidepressants, I've been prescribed amitriptalyne - these drugs are designed to affect your nervous system, I didn't find they messed with my brain. The only side effect was drowsiness for the first few days after a dose increase (you start with a very low dose). While they didn't help me, don't be afraid to give it a try - you never know what might help.
On a personal note, I've been seeking treatment for about 4 years, and I'm desperate enough that I would do anything to be done with this shit. But that means I've tried A LOT, so feel free to reply with any questions. Good luck!
