Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain you have problem of depression. I will suggest you to don't too much relay on antidepressant drug only. Antidepressants drugs use give good result mostly after 3 weeks.

Do some lifestyle modifications. Do a relaxation exercise like yoga and meditation is helpful to you. Aerobic exercise is also helpful. Take a well balanced diet and eight hours of sleep every day. Stay connected with your friends and family. Read motivational articles. Train your brain to stay calm each and every condition. Cognitive behavioral therapy helpful to you. Behavior therapy alter your thoughts and decrease negative thoughts. Consult a psychiatrist for further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
