Suggest Treatment For Depression

Hello, i've been successfully taking aripiprazole for the past year. Ive been able to keep a very healthy lifestyle and am so happy to have found something that works so well for me. I was recently told that i may no longer take this drug because my insurance won't cover it any longer. That is frightening to hear, as I've experienced no side effects and I'm happy. My new choices are resperidone, olanzapine, ziprasidone. I tried the resperidone and it was awful. I can't live like that. I've taken olanzapine before, and it worked fine. But, I am concerned about changing from aripiprazole to just olanzapine, though. Depression has to be one of the most debilitating diseases known to humankind. I've gone down the dark road of depression before and I was able to come back from it... I never want to go down that road again... please give me your thoughts. thank you
