I'm not an expert on medication, however if you're still not feeling right then you should go back to your doctor.

i don't believe in medication. i think its more money making than actually helping people. i watched a documentary once and decided never to take medication after that anymore. nowadays i meditate instead and it helps actually more than the drugs did before maybe you can try it out.

i hear the meds have bad sideeffects, maybe thats it? , There are also alternatives to medication, ever thought about reading a book about depression?

I don't believe any medication can completely wipe out all anxiety/depression etc. However if you feel no relief at all then I feel a trip to the GP is in order. They may be able to recommend a different kind of medication.

I used to take Propranolol and whilst it didn't help mentally, it was amazing physically. I didn't shake or feel sick half as much.
