Hi Liv, sorry you're having trouble finding something that works. I've tried 8 antidepressants before finding a combo that has me feeling more stable, so don't give up hope. I've had some ADs in the past that made me worse and so I came off them. The important thing is to see your doctor regularly and let him know how you're getting on.

Have you been offered anything like psychotherapy in addition to the medication?

Liv,
Andy is right.

Antidepressants are a trial and error situation.
Plus meds do not do 100% of the job.

It is important that you talk to your doctor about coping skills. These skills help you through the dark periods.
Peace and strength

There are also different types of anti-depressants. For whatever reason they seem to be trial and error for just about everyone. I am taking one at the moment that tends to energize people. I puts me to sleep so I will be switching. I do know it's hard sometimes while you're searching but don't give up.
