Anti-depressants only help about 30% of the people who try them, so you are not alone.

My therapist insisted I start taking meds. Fought her tooth and nail, but eventually went to a Pdoc.

For one thing, it sets you up for failure on meds since you are fighting against the whole idea of pharmaceutical intervention. My first T was kind of the opposite. She refused to see me anymore if I started on meds. I don't think T's should give ultimatums like this, especially in the area of meds, which is not part of their training. It is really counterproductive to give ultimatums. This caused a rupture between me and my T that was never fixed.

Best of luck with no meds. If you feel better, great!
