Brief Answer:
Need another antidepressant

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

I think, you have chronic depression and need combination of antidepressant. You have been taking remeron (mirtazapine), abilify (aripiprazole) and buspar(buspiron). If you are still getting depressive symptoms on these drugs, that means, you need one more antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram. That would help you to over come these depressive symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You can carry on with other medications.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Regards
