Antidepressants didn't work for me--not SSRIs, at least. They made me feel emotionless, which still made me feel depressed. However, I am currently on lithium 300 mg, 3x a day, and I have never felt better. But I don't know if that's just because I actually have more of a soft bipolarity rather than unipolar depression (even though I'm technically diagnosed with major depression).
It just depends on your brain and body chemistry, really.
