Hey Arilex!
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with depression. finding the right antidepressant can be such a long hard battle. How long usually have you been on each? It usually takes about 4-6 weeks usually for an antidepressant to start working, sometimes longer. This makes it difficult too to try to give each one time to be effective. SSRI's are what work usually for most people; I am not one of those people though -- I take venlafaxine. Zoloft is a pretty good SSRI that I've heard good things about. You could also look into adding some kind of synergistic drug with it like abilify. I use seroquel (pretty sedative so I take it at night) but it has really worked well for me. I hope you find something that works well for you!
