Hi, @beebz, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That would be very hard to have this depression worsening with no medicines helping much to date.
I would like to introduce you to @guener @parus @annedodrill44 @merpreb @stressedmesseddepressed, who may have some ideas on relieving the depression.
Have you tried any other therapies beyond medication thus far, @beebz?
I have had depression also since my mid 20's, I'm about your age . I think I've been on every antidepressant with little relief. And was also using Amblify it may have helped some but the weight I gained, 70lbs. I don't know if it was worth it. I was recently put on a new one , Latuda that I think was making a difference for me but it is so expensive I can't afford it on my monthly disability check, but the psy. Doc. kept me on samples for 4 mo. Long enough to see it helped and I could not stay on it. It is a big disappointment for me . But i you have the means it might be worth a try. Cost of $ 1250 before insurance . Best wishes to you.
