Kelranji- Don't lose hope! If you do need to be on medication, it's amazing what the difference is between drugs even within the same class. I, for example, can take celexa successfully but not Prozac or Lexapro. Both of them make me sick as a dog, but the celexa doesn't and all three are SSRI's. It may take time but eventually you'll find the right drug or cocktail and while things might never be perfect, they'll be much, much better. I've been fortuinate that I have been able to have a successful career despite my struggles with depression. I've taken days off with med changes and used all my sick time most of the time, but I've been able to do it. Hang in there and I really hope you feel better. Maybe the Lexapro will do the trick!
