Alright so im a 16 year old male i have been on various antidepressants for past few years, for my depression and social anxiety. I also have a lack of energy, like i just never have energy to do anything. Also, because i had been caught cutting myself, and doing drugs many times just so i could feel better. I have a psychiatrist appointment tommorow, he has literally ran out of ideas of medications to try on me because he has tried so many...

I have been on (all for depression suprisingly)
Celexa
Lexapro
Zoloft
Effexor xr
Remeron (the worst so far)
Abilify
Adderall
Concerta
Klonopin(for the anxiety)

right now im just on 20mg lexapro a day, and it doesn't help at all, none of the medications in the SSRI class have helped at all... My doctor wanted me to research some depression medications and suggest one to him... any ideas?
