First, we need to be sure of diagnosis before commenting on medications. But, at the outset. Does'nt make sense giving antipsychotics and antidepressants considering the doses in which they have been prescribed.

Dear lybrate-user,
adding another antidepressant is warranted in certain cases. There are guidelines for its addition. One can not load himself with antidepressants however chronic it is. Please consult your psychiatrist about it. Since he is following you up for many years, he may add venlafaxine or a mood stabiliser ot therapy for psychosocial issues keeping the depression for a long time. It depends on the diagnosis.

Sometimes the medications do not work alone and may need to be given in a combination of 2 to 4, augmenting their effects. So discuss with your psychiatrist and follow the treatment protocol for resistant symptoms. Good luck.
