taking a bunch of different antidepressants over a lifetime tends to reduce the overall effectiveness of them. I think after the 3rd med change, the chance they will be effective is about 3% of the time.
This doesn't seem to be true for me. I have taken just about all of them over the last twenty years but my most recent one, Fetzima, has worked better than any other ever. Maybe it is statistically true but I had not heard that before.
