I saw this on the interweb and was going to post it I'm glad you did.
My experience has been that antidepressants helped me greatly, at least initially. Then without fail they "pooped" out. It's been frustrating since the initial effect was always good, very good, maybe even a little too good (as in hypomanic). And after taking them for many years I found myself becoming very irritable.
So now I just take thyroid medication and deal with the low level depression as best I can with therapy. I've given up on pharmacological psychiatry for the most part. Sigh.
