How do I know if my SSRI is working
I used to take Luvox (from 2016-2020) back and it worked wonders. Then I had to switch doctors because of problems with the commute. The new doctor then gave me Nexito 5 which worked fine and he asked me to stop taking after a while.
Cut to 7 months later, I had a massive relapse and went back on nexito 5 and it didn't work. Upped to 10 after a couple of months didn't work either. Then upped to 20 now n it still doesn't feel like it works...
I have been taking nexito for more than 5 months and it hasn't been working at all.
What should I do next?
I honestly don't know what to do...

Hi,
The medicines create a environment where healing can take place. For healing to happen one has to go a holistic way to rule out and overpower the issues.
To obtain results with medicines one has to seek therapies / counseling too.
And the results are faster. As you learn the skill and stress management, psychiatrist can reduce doses and later no medicines are required. I will advise, never start or leave medicine without your psychiatrist notice.
Next Steps
Meet an experienced psychotherapist.
