Meds question

I am finding that no matter which antidepressant I try they all seem to have the same effect. I don't actually feel any better I just can't seem to cry. No matter how bad I want to. Anybody else? You should know that my depression is situational not chemical (according to my doc) so I am not sure if anythng will help anyways.

Also, I have been on 2 different sleeping meds. The first one didn't work, they added the second and the combo worked for about a week but I had a hangover. Now they aren't working at all. In fact, I think they are actually hyping me up.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Before I got on my last meds a week ago, I would cry at least once a day. Since I started, I havent been able to vry either. Dont know if that is good or bad. My mood is not that better, but I hope that it will change.

Oh yes I should have mentioned that I have been on this particular AD for over 6 weeks. Only 4 at the dose doc wanted me to try. This is the 3rd med change since May though.
