Matazapine I think is the antidepressant I used to use. I can’t remember the name of the others sorry just tried so many.
I take XXXXXXX that’s what I know it as.
Iv have depression and anxiety and also have dissociative episodes and bad mood swings. Iv been having suicidal thoughts and thoughts about self harming again but have no acted on them.

No sleep issues if any I’m sleeping too much and constantly feel tired.
Brief Answer:
Escitalopram
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the details.
Abdominal pain could be due to irregular/heavy menstrual bleeding. I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist for this.
Most of your other symptoms fit into the diagnosis of depression.
Unfortunately you do not remember the names of the antidepressants which you have taken in past.
I would suggest escitalopram (a prescription antidepressant drug). In my experience, this is the drug with lowest side effects and better tolerability.
Please discuss this with your treating doctor.
Thanks.
