I too have very treatment resistant very genetic/ biological depression. All the meds have not been so great and I have tried them all. Many years of therapy, 1000's of AA meetings, working the steps over and over, Alanon, meditation, you name it.......has to be deeply ingrained biologically.

However recently, in March, I decided to try the meds listed in my sig. Fetzima. It has worked like a miracle so far. So I would say keep on trying new things. Fetzima is an SSNRI and I have been on all the other SSNRI's but this one is working for some reason. There are a few other new ones out too.
