For most people pills work. Don't forget though that each persons body, brain, chemicals and problems are all different. Most anti-dipressants take 3 weeks or more to work. Some are more sedating than others. The older meds make you sluggish more so than the newer ones. But you do need to be patient with the Dr. (Sorry for the Pun!) During those 3 weeks your mind is adjusting to the chemical changes and you may feel nothing, sleepy, jumpy or just different. But after a short while your brain becomes conditioned to the new pills and like the post above mine, you probably won't feel happy, you'll just realize that you have returned to your former self. For some people the trade off is not worth it. But for me and thousands others the trade off is worth it. Be patient. Get informed. Ask every single question you can of your p-doc (Psychiatrist, an MD) about your condition, your meds and about his training and his specialty. He might do his best work or had extra training with children for example. Try to stay away from any other Dr but a pdoc as say, a family Dr. or a bone surgeon does not have enough expert training in the field. Using the family Dr can cost you a trip to the mental hospital. It almost happened to me! But don't start thinking about anything else but getting information. BTW, make sure you read the newest books in the library. This field changes very quickly. I hope this helps. Good luck on your recovery.
