15. Sounds like you were misdiagnosed

or maybe the wrong meds were prescribed, although 4-5 is trying a lot. What does your doctor say? Often people will take themselves off anti-depression meds because they feel they don't need them because they feel good and not realizing the benefit of the drug. I'm not saying that's your case, just something to consider. I think friends and family around you have the most objective view of how well or not the drugs worked. They can tell you if you're better with the meds than you. I know that personally. My family knows I want the feedback. When they're hinting it might be a good idea to start back on them, I do.

Anecdotally speaking, your situation doesn't change the fact that a great many are helped by these drugs. I feel for you that you haven't yet found a solution. I hope they do soon.
