Hi, Ruthann. It sounds like it's time to have a talk with your doctor. If you don't have a psychiatrist, perhaps now would be a good time to find one because he/she specializes in these medications and would have better ideas than any of us here would, as we're not medical professionals. On the other hand, maybe you'd be better or also helped by therapy. Medication just manages the symptoms but doesn't address the root of the depression.
Thanks for visiting our site here and let us know what you end up with.
