Mila, It seems to me that the meds simply allow that feeling of continuity to exist as a foundation for whatever else I'm feeling. I am currently taking trazadone and serzone; they are effective against the worst of my depression. But I still have physical symptoms that I believe are caused by some kind of neurological or neurotransmitter dysfunction and I haven't found a med that will solve all these problems. Psychotherapy also helps. I hope you find the right doc and meds.
