The main thing that I've been on for years is a tricyclic antidepressant. Without that, I would be lost. SSRI's don't do me any good.

I've never been on tricyclic anti-d's. Lithium never worked for me either nor did others. I am so happy that what I am taking now works but I had to wait for it to be invented, ugh, which took a while. I never did well on SSRI's. I responded them at first but than they failed horribly. I don't know anyone out there who uses them anymore. I now they still prescribe them but have no idea to who. Ever try Abilify? I added that to my anti-d when I was on a medical (physical) treatment that caused even more depression than I normally had. I am no longer on it because I am no longer on that medical treatment. I didn't remember it but this guy in my (offline) Bipolar Group said he was taking it and it really helped a lot. Of course everyone is different but thought I would pass that on.
