My medication for depression doesn't seem to be helping. So I was wondering what do you take and does it help?

I need suggestions to take to my psychiatrist. Since he doesn't seem to know what medication to give me that helps.

Prozac, Wellbutrin, Abilify and Saphris. Just got off Rexaulti which was very good for me but too expensive. Good luck getting a medication that works for you.
Thanks for this!

Has he done genetic blood work, they can sometimes really nail down what you will respond to without a lot of taking and waiting to see if it will help.

No he has never mentioned genetic blood work. Nor has he done it. I don't know if he would know what I was talking about if I told him.
