Have you tried therapy?

With meds many of us go through a whole bunch of them until we find one or some combo that works. There are three new ones out. Fetzima, Viibryd, Brintelex. meds are only a part of the solution and need to go with other non med methods.

If you are bi polar chances are they would also have you on a mood stabilizer such as Lamictal, Tegretol, or Depakote. Abilify is an anti psychotic used as an augmenter for depression.

I have had very good luck with Fetzima and Lamictal recently. I have just about tried them all in the last twenty years. Some worked ok, some not at all, and some quit working. I just keep at it. When I am doing good I try to do the things that would help my depression. Working, exercise, meditation, therapy, group support, family, friends, journaling, posting here, etc. When I am severely depressed I can only make my appointments to my professionals and not much else. I do spend a lot of time on this site when depressed.
