I think my antidepressants have stopped working.

I'm having a lot of problems with mood swings. My dr. is aware. I was coming down from 300mg of Luvox to 150 and I thought it started working. Short lived though, a couple of weeks. Do I need a mood stabilizer too? Lithium makes me bat shit crazy, mean.

Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about readjusting your medications.

Yes this can be a problem. We as humans tend to gain a tolerance towards meds (lol who knew school would come in handy).
So I would advise seeing your professional doctor to up or down the meds.

I have depression and I don't take meds for it but I'm currently at a difficult mental state (a "crazy bitch" as my doctor called me). So I wouldn't know.
Hope you get better ((hugs))
