You might (discuss with your care provider, disclaimers, etc) try an SNRI. I'd tried SSRIs multiple times and never saw an improvement. I've also been on various dosages and formulations of stimulant medication for ADHD and did not see unambiguous positive changes. I've been on Effexor for a shade under a month, and while it started off a little eh, with nausea and some mild unpleasant mental symptoms, I feel like it's unlocked the person I was meant to be. I hope it continues to work as well as this, because I feel like it's the most powerful change I've ever experienced in my life.
