Detailed Answer:
Hello and I am sorry that you are struggling with your depression.
Sometimes a medication works for a patient for many years even decades and no changes are needed. However if you are having ongoing depression then your nurse needs to change your medications or refer you to a psychiatrist. The other things that help depression are talking to a counselor and exercise. Even walking for 30 minutes a day can help. The counselor can help you with ways to deal with the stress in your life.
There is excellent treatment for depression so be assertive as ask your nurse for changes and a referral to a therapist.
If you feel suicidal at any time go immediately to Emergency.
I hope you get some relief soon,
