Hello,
I went through your statement. Your thyroid, Blood and urine test are normal. I assume that DM and HT are ruled out. Antidepressants may not be suitable for your work, and you can't blame the depression is the cause of your symptoms.
You need further investigation like - ECG, Carotid Doppler and CT brain to assess the blood supply to the brain. Electrolyte imbalance can also produce symptoms like what you got. You may have some problem for your symptoms. Try to find and treat it. Then you will be alright.
Best wishes
