Get 2nd opinion: That is a lot of medication! perhaps another approach such as transcranial magnetic stimulation ( a form of low dose electroconvulsive therapy) may be a option if you have such treatment resistant depression. Other activies such as exercise and b vitamins can help to mobilize the body's ability to respond to medications prescribed. Perhaps other nonpharmacologic techniques , such as guided imagery.

Other options: May be worth to consider, like transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms), electro convultive therapy (ect), biofeedback, etc. The best would 2 discuss them w/ur doctor. You r taking 2 antidepressants & 2 anxiolytics. Some drs would add an atypical anti psychotic but polypharmacy is 2 b avoided. Please take action, know there are other options & discuss them w/ur doc. U want results & u r right! best.
