I was in the same place as you five years ago. Except I was 16 and didn't think I had anything or anyone to live for. I was so tired of trying new meds. I had been on lexapro, welbutrin, and celexa all at different times and all before I was 15. I was losing hope and beginning to think no medicine could help me. So I attempted to follow through with it. Obviously, I was not successful. I had been admitted after the suicide attempt to an intensive psychiatric facility where they had finally found MY winning combination. (Lithium, prozac, abilify, buspar, and focalin). I must admit, I was pretty upset with my impressive inventory of medication, mainly because no one could promise me that I wouldn't be on all of them for forever. Now at almost 6 years later I am only taking prozac. And I was off all meds until I had a bout of postpartum depression a year and a half ago. I feel like I'd be a hypocrite if I told you to not give up, but I'd like to spare someone else all the pain and struggles I had gone through while I was still just a child. Push for more exploration in your meds. If you aren't feeling well after the the time the meds are supposed to be working, then its pretty obvious you need to change them. You aren't going to keep using the same shade of foundation if it doesn't match your skin color, would you? Foundation is comparable to meds only in the way that there are thousands of options. It may take some time to find your perfect match, but its out there and when you find it you will feel so alive. And be so thankful. Goodluck.
