Major Depressive Disorder NON-SSRI Anti-Depressants that actually work??

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Buffalo, NY

I've tried many different meds over the years, mostly SSRI's, with little to no effect.
I've also tried Wellbutrin, which made me totally insane, and just tried Lithium, which I also reacted badly to (intense itching all over my body & extreme nausea).
I'm just looking for some other medications I can ask my doctor about.
