It is not uncommon that patients switch from one anti-depressive drug to another but does not find anything which helps.
Are these medicines prescribed by a general practioner or by a psychiatrist? If by a general practitioner, you should be examined by a psychiatrist.
If medicines do not help, there are other methods which may be necessary, either in addition to, or instead of, the medicines. Psychotherapy is the first choice, ECT is another choice.
