Does ssri's stop working after a period of time or is it true if you try 3 or more ssri's they no longer work?

Well...: It is not recommended that you take more than one SSRI at the same time. Most require about 6 weeks to see real effectiveness. sometmes it takes a while to find the right one. If in the long-run they do not work, you must see a psychiatrist that is very familiar with this issue
