You don't mention anything else but the medicine. Did you do any other therapy? Remember, the medication is a lot like an umbrella in a rain storm. It's up and sheltering you from the rain. You're dry but you need to do other things beside being dry. Other therapy to get to the deep seated stuff that caused the depression/anxiety in the first place is really the only reason to take the medicine, in my humble opinion. I need to do that for my sanity. There's stuff in there. There's hidden anger in me. If I don't feret it out and expose it for what it is and deal with it, the medicine becomes a crutch. At the risk of two analogies making things unclear instead of enlightening, you can move with your crutch and the injury that makes it necessary gets time to heal but pt will make it better faster.
