Success with certain anti-depression medicines? Looking for advice...?

I have been on anti-depressants for a long time, switching from one to another after it stops working. I'm getting fed up with my depression and wondering if there are any medicines that you recommend.

side notes: I know there are alternative treatments to depression, however, this isn't my question.

also, I know that different meds work for different people. I just want to know which ones have worked for you.

many thanks!

I am currently taking wellbutrin for depression - it has been working for about 10 yrs

good luck

pills are not the answer. As a med student, I am frustrated with the perceive magic bullet people have about pharmaceuticals. Therapy should be first in treatment, along with a healthy diet, exercise, and vitamins. Join a gym, cut out junk food, try not to pay attention to propaganda so much, and set and strive for a goal. Studies have shown that on average an american sees or hears 3000+ advertisements in a single day. You tune it out of your conscious but it becomes part of your environment in which you may consider yourself inferior from. Vitamin B12 will help your body deal with stress and give you energy. Therapy will further help you identify specific things that cause you stress and provide you with tools that help you deal with them effectively. Pills are only to supplement this treatment, they are not a cure all and are actually a social epidemic that needs to be dealt with.

You are seeing a therapist. Good, are you getting anything from it? Are you finding yourself identifying certain stresses in your life and dealing with them with tools your therapist has given you? If not, then demand it from him/her or change therapists. The more control you take over your own life, the better off you will be.

My point is that the medication isn't "whats going to work" best for you. it will be the way you deal with your problems.

2mg of alprazolam 4 X a day. Start working out because it also gives the munchies
