I'm sorry if my post upset you, and do feel free to ignore my opinions - it's not personal.
If the "best treatment out there" doesn't work, some may choose to stop beating a dead horse. If it works, great; but if it doesn't, doesn't there come a time to stop and reassess the situation?
Some of us weren't born with the "happy gene", and we endure a lifelong struggle trying to be like the ones who were, perhaps never accepting the fact that it'll never happen.
If drug treatment makes the difference between being functional and non-functional, then it would seem "successful" in my opinion, but if it's about being "happy", and has been a multi-year pursuit, then maybe it's time to consider both acceptance of the "condition" and to seek other forms of "therapy", whether it be meditation, exercise, religion, peer support, hobbies, diet, etc., etc., etc..
Maybe there is no there there.
