I think sewerrats is just trying to say if you keep changing meds looking for perfection, to be 100% happy you will probably fail.
Even most 'normal' people are not 100% happy with everything in their life.
That could be what he is saying and that is true. I know there is no magic bullet and meds are only part of the solution. Believe me I have done all of the other stuff too. Therapy and groups and on and on and everything I could think of. So it is not like I am relying only on meds.

But if my current meds quit working in a year or two should I just stay on them? I won't I will try something else. I am not looking for 100% satisfaction from meds. I have very treatment resistant depression. Resistant to all forms of treatment. I have written about it at length in these forums. I want something that at least partly works.

It seemed to me more like he was saying it based on some theory about remission rates and AD's.
