richa-don't give up on meds yet-there is one out there that will work on you. I know it feels sometimes that the psychs are just experimenting on us, but that's because they don't have the means yet to tell by a blood test exactly what meds we need, so they have to do it by trial and error (sometimes lots of errors). I know it's very frustrating, but it's worth it to keep trying. There are worst things than depression, but there are better things too. Peace. M.
