Ideally you should have been on 1 anti depressant for 6months. What all medicines have been tried ? Do you still have anxiety / depression or are the symptoms under control?

continue taking your medication.. dont skip any doses.. continue visiting your doctor.. talk to him about how you feel.. let him know about any side effects.. improvement takes time.. if you have experienced some benefit.. be patient.. more will come.. supplement your medications with counselling if possible.. cbt is a psychotherapy that works well.. never lose hope..depression can be treated.
