You need to speak with a psychiatrist. There many drugs on the market for depression.

But I ask you this, what has been going on in your life? Why are you depressed?

Well you don't say how long you have been trying your present antidepressant. I don't think it truly matters what works for somebody else, because unless it is genetically working in your family circle, it doesn't mean what I or somebody else takes, will work for you. However there are many,many medications nowadays for Depression. I think that you need some other kind of medicine though right away with suicidal thoughts all day long, that's not good at all. I think waiting a 4 to 6 week period for an antidepressant to work with the state of low or depression you are in is dangerous. Please contact your psychiatrist as soon as possible or go to your local emergency room! Also there are helplines to call also for being depressed, suicidal thoughts, please contact somebody as besides medicines, you need some kind of talk therapy, behavioral changes, it all will work!!! Please don't give up, through the darkest of times, there is always a ray of sunshine and a rainbow on the other times...........take care of YOU!!!! I will say a prayer for you tonight in hopes that it helps to guide you and be strong, there is always hope!!! I know it doesn't feel hopeful or sunny feelings right now, but the best is yet to be, trust me! : )

Yahoo Answers is not the best place to get the help you need. There are sites for people to go to that have live chat regarding depression. Everyone on YA might sympathize with you, but giving you the names of anti-depressants is not beneficial.
If you are lonely, why not start ANSWERING questions instead of asking them. I would bet you have a lot of information that could help people.
Good luck !

I honestly don't know about anti-depressants but I do know that it is not fun to feel depressed. First, talk to someone who may know about why you are feeling depressed. Second, you need to find something else to think about (sorry, I don't mean to sound like a b****). Then you need to find something that will help you get out and get going.

There's a great lyric from Ani Di Franco that says "You can doubt anything if you think about it long enough". Seems to me that your doubting you life. Try not to think about it too much. :)

There is no true strongest pill all medications work differently for different people i suggest you talk to a doctor and find whats best for you. Start a diary and write down all that is troubling you, sometimes that helps when no one is around at that moment to talk to. Always find help suicide is not the answer to anything.

Look at site below. A lot of info on fasting on site comes from Alan Cott MD. He is a psychiatrist. Your body is telling you not to eat. He learned about it from head of fasting unit with 200 beds at the Moscow Psychiatric Hospital.

Then click on page with "natural healing" to see what someone did for it who was on 3 drugs for it. Then click on "a new religion" for more about things that affect feelings from latest research by psychology.
