      Look into clinics/treatments for Treatment Resistant Clinical Depression. There’s an FDA approved external stimuli treatment that’s had some successes. I’ll admit I don’t know too much about them, but I go to physical therapy with someone who works at one of these clinics and have heard him describe characteristics of candidates recommended for it and usually it’s those who any medication does not work and your quality of life is low.

      I did a Genesight test. It analyzes your DNA to see what your body can even break down. I had been through 10 different medications and was losing hope when I had that done. Because of it, I have experienced relief from my depression and anxiety.

      I went through a dozen years or so until we found the right medication combo that gave any kind of help. It’s a lot of trial and error especially with my having PTSD related depression and anxiety on top of chronic pain. Don’t give up, you’ll get it figured out.

      Please don’t get discouraged. Have you tried lexipro ? I’m having to star over with my antidepressant also because I moved. I’ve already been on 3 different ones in 3 months and it makes my depression much worse because of the constant switching. 2 weeks ago I was in a very dark place but now I’m not so much in the dark place but really kind of numb 🫂🫂🫂
