I forgot to mention that, despite having had some antidepressants make me feel worse, I have had others make me feel better and bring me into a remission that allowed me to feel wonderful and to function at my very best. The difference was quite dramatic. I won't bore you with the whole story, but suffice it to say that it can take quite a few drug trials before you encounter a treatment that is a good match for your unique psychobiology.
Of course, I don't even know what specific mental illness, if any, you are suffering with. Perhaps you don't need medication at all. Had you tried psychotherapy?
For me, it has been a good decision to continue searching for the right medication regime, despite many years of treatment failures. I suffer from an uncommon type of bipolar disorder.
