I've been on:

• Citalopram
• Sertraline
• Fluoxetine
• Escitalopram
• Venlafaxine
• Quetiapine
• aaaand I'm currently on Duloxetine.

This has been over about a decade, with varying dosages and some therapy with the NHS, b8ut I've seen nothing but decline over the years. I've obviously had my ups and downs over this long time frame, but the last year has been getting worse and worse. I'm spending each day feeling suicidal and I'm starting to lose hope.

The last time I spoke to my doctor, he said we are running out of medications to try. I'm not sure what happens after that. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do if no medication works - am I just going to be depressed forever? Is it really this or kill myself?
