As it has already been stated, your body can grow a tolerance to it. I've had depression for over 7 years and I've changed medication a couple times now. Also if you do change it don't forget there are A LOT of different kinds that work differently to everyone. So if you start taking one and it doesn't work, try another one.
It might not hurt to bring it up. As for the changing over period, it's hard to say. I'm sure everyone would react differently. For me my head gets pretty disoriented feeling and dizzy. I assume this to be from the chemicals in my brain shifting back to their 'natural' unbalanced state. But that only lasted a week or so. Surprisingly my emotions didn't seem to be effected too much.
Is it normal to be depressed even on meds?

Do I just suggest this to my psychologist? I have boxes of medication untouched. How will the change from one medication to another be?
