Dear Kindofblue,
I'm presently in the same boat (although I have many moments where I feel it's a sinking ship). Have severe depression with anxiety. I'm presently living in Thailand--you can scan the board for my name and get most of the story that way. The options are somewhat limited here. The one drug that DID work for my depression/anxiety for 18 years was MAOI Parnate, which is not available here. So I've gone round in circles with Remeron, Zoloft, and presently Moclobemide (not available in the U.S) which after about a month, doesn't seem to help at all. A trip back to the U.S. for the Parnate will probably be in order.
But back to your original question--many, many people who have posted on this board have been through several anti-depressants and we're all going through hell on earth. Good luck. Keep in touch with me if you like.
