I've always been very hard to medicate tho -- even with pain meds, so guess I'll talk to the doc on Monday & see what he says. 
I pray everyone begins feeling better - depression is an awful disease! God bless!

I find that sometimes the meds can block many feelings and can make it impossible for you to cry and release the pain that is often still deep down inside you. That's partly why I am currently not going up with my med dosage, as I feel I won't be able to access these difficult feelings in a way that I can hopefully work through them with and without my therapist.
On the other hand, if you are a real mess and feel you can't cope at all even with learned coping strategies then you probably need to increase the dosage.
Getting antidepressant dosage right can be tricky, I agree.
I hope your GP / doctor will suggest something helpful.
Be well, Lee!
