Ilene, I encouage you to hang on and keep trying to find a med combo that works. It took me a long time. I was very very depressed and suicidal. But eventually with the help of an endocrinologist for my thyroid problems, my pdoc and I foudn a combo that worked decently and then I could start to recover. It wasn't instantaneous--it was hard work even after the meds started working, but it did eventually happen.
You do sound like someone who wants to be able to live and find meaning in life, but are just so incredibly discouraged and worn down by the depression. But there is reason to hope that things can get better. I never used to believe that but I'm glad I stuck around to find out.
Keep pursuing the treatment that will be right for you. And know that you are not alone in experiencing this.
