You’re right that cookie cutter approaches to depression definitely don’t work, and everyone has to find their own balance of therapy, lifestyle changes, and antidepressants.

Obviously I’m not a medical doctor, and not an expert on antidepressants, but one bit of advice I’ve been given is to investigate different medicines, if one doesn’t seem to be working. Everybody is different, and an AD that works for one person will have little effect on another. If you have a doctor who isn’t sympathetic to your difficulties and willing to work with you to help you feel better, it’s a good idea to get a second opinion.
