I Have Tried About Ten Different Anti Depressants And Feel Like None Are Working. ?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can't focus, have zero motivation to do anything, not able to keep up with anything, can't finish anything. Could I have an incorrect diagnosis?

I don’t even want to count how many I tried, it was over 10 I’m sure. But finally 1 did!! I am on several medications currently but they are finally working! It’s so helpful to find a doctor that’ll keep fighting with you!

The most important thing I started to do is to pay attention to my gut feeling and if I didn't feel right with the meds I let my Dr. No beacause I had all the side effects I didn't feel like myself

It could be you're med's they're mabe to strong, investigate it with your Md.
For me, It was draining me, I felt the same way + most of the side effects. I sleep 8h that was good but after 12h I'd sleep until 4 in the afternoon. That was my life for many years.
When I moved from a draining and very toxic naber hood and started to feel safe again, I decided to take control of my life, to pay attention to my gut feeling.
I maide the choice to make a plan with with my Dr. To slowly bring my meds down because when it's done to fast, it feels like you're going back in a depression again "been there done that".
My spsychiatrist said to me "You've got one type of med left to try what do you want to do ?" I replied " I'll pass thank you" and she retired and said to continue with my Dr.
I've even started to see a shrink because I've been f...stuck in my life for to long. I take less meds and I'm feeling better everyday. I'm in control of my well-being and my new life,

One breth at a time,
One step at a time,
One action at a time
Hope it helps

I found out from my new Md and counselor that instead of major depression I have bipolar 1 and have been seeing changes in mood since my medication was changed more towards bipolar and are actually helping. This took about 36 years to figure out what seems to be working with new treatments

Sometimes it takes a good while to find the right medicine or combination of meds. I take 4 for my cocktail.
