How do i address me feeling stuck with my depression med just not doing enough!?

Therapy is also helpful, often meds alone r not as effective as meds plus therapy. Find a therapist who encourages u to try new ways of doing things - acting yr way into feeling better is more effective than waiting 4 something to make u feel better.
