I tried quite a few antidepressants before I found that Wellbutrin 240mg was effective, in 2006. A year or so ago I was starting to be quite depressed and suicidal again, so I talked with the psychiatrist about it and he started Mirtazapine 45mg. That's been working for me, though I have been feeling a low grade depression for a couple of months.

I take Clonazepam, and St. John's Wort, which also can be helpful for depression. I also take morphine sulfate contin and Imipramine for neuropathy

I take Generlac, aka Lactulose, for constipation. It does the job fine. It's a prescription, covered by Medicare, so no cost for me.

In 2005, I was beyond depressed, too, and it took 5 years of medication and therapy to climb out of the hole, and several more years to shake off the compulsive thoughts of suicide.
