is anyone else on medication, or been on any medication, that helped with the apd symtpoms?

i have been refusing medication for a long time, but am starting to consider it because the depression is getting to be unbearably bad.

i haven't been on meds for a long time. since age 14 my psychiatrist of the time tried me on prozac, zoloft, depekote, resperidol, geodon, seroquel, and zyprexa.
