Try to see psych: It sounds like you're going through a tough time. I'd recommend you see a psychiatrist & psychologist who you can partner with to find the right treatment for you. Many people benefit from combination therapies utilizing more than 1 class of antidepressant (or other psychotherapeutic classes). Hope that helps & good luck!

Add psychotherapy?: While there are still other meds that you can be given, I hope you have also entered into psychotherapy. SOmetimes there are underlying factors which either trigger the depression or may be the main cause of the depression. Also therapy plus meds is right for some people.
