Anti depressants can only do so much for us, so if you're having overwhelming thoughts of harming yourself I encourage you to seek professional help!
But if you are looking to change your anti depressants, I've been on bupropion and escitalopram for a few months and my mental health has improved so much.
No medication is going to be a cure-all and everyone responds to meds differently. What works for someone else might not work for you. I’m personally on a combination of lamictal + mirtazapine + sertraline and it’s been helpful for me. It took a few years of trial and error to get here and, like others have mentioned, I’ve needed more than meds alone to get to a good place. I also go to counseling and rely on my support system to help me stay well.
If you’re feeling suicidal, of course I urge you to seek emergency help to keep yourself safe. Keep hanging in there—I wish you the best.
