hartbroken,
there are several antidepressants available now. Everyone's body reacts diffently to medications, and the ones you were on may not have agreed with you.
Are you seeing a psychiatrist or psycologist? If there are problems in your life, either current or past, talking to someone might help you work through some of them. Sometimes both medications and "talk therapy" work well together, and its possible that you won't have to take antidepressants for the rest of your life. Let your Dr. know that the meds aren't working and see if you can get in touch with someone to talk to.
I hope you will be feeling better soon.
