Bonnie, I know how demoralizing it can be to struggle to find a medication that works. I have been going through this, too.
While you search for a good med, are you in any kind of therapy? Therapy has helped me so much, and it sounds like you could use the support.
Also, who prescribes your meds, and are you comfortable talking to that person? Do you get enough time with this doc to discuss what is going on with you? How much time did you give each med to see if it helped? Has your doc mentioned the idea of combining two or more meds to achieve a better effect? Were you consistent in taking your meds at the right times?
What do your parents say about all of this? Is there a family history of depression? Do you know if there was something that triggered the depression 9 months ago? What was it?
I won't say hang in there, but I will say that you are not alone.
