One possible answer is dopamine depletion over time with SSRIs: http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Patients-who-lose-response.html
Another answer is that peoples' metabolisms change over time such that a drug gets metabolized too fast, and the legal limits prohibit a doctor from prescribing more medication than the Physicians' Desk Reference allows.
I don't think one can prove this happens as much with tricyclic antidepressants.
Be well and prosper,
