Struggling with Depression Medication

This sounds like treatment resistant depression. It sounds like Zoloft IS an effective antidepressant for you. With treatment resistant depression, a mood stabilizer or anti psychotic are typically prescribed alongside an antidepressant if effective. Mood stabilizers do exactly what you think and consist of lamotrigine, carbamazepine, and divalproex/valproic acid. Anti psychotics are prescribed most often to bipolar disorder and schizophrenic patients to limit psychotic symptoms and also stabilize mood. Popular ones consist of Seroquel, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Latuda, Vraylar, Abilify, Rexulti, Clozapine, and many others. Discuss this with your physician. Don't hesitate to PM me to discuss this further. Best wishes ❤️❤️❤️

C I'm with you on the fact that I've had to change my depressant so many times and it's always made me sick the last one I put on literally has no effect like I feel like absolute garbage every freaking day and it's not something that people need to put on the back burner like everybody else says like if it's making you sick you should probably go to the doctor and figure out what's going on because it could also be an issue of the medication you might be getting sick off the medication but best of luck

I've also been on 4 different antidepressants, most recently Effexor which seems to be working for me so far. Your situation sounds very frustrating, to say the least. Not sure if insurance will cover it for you or how much you'd owe, but a friend of mine did that testing to see which medications may work better for her. Another option you could ask your psychiatrist about are ketamine treatments. I've had those mentioned to me, personally. Lastly, I take several medications to help with my symptoms, so you may need more than just an antidepressant. I take Abilify as one, which I think is made to aid antidepressants. Best of luck!
