hi
it seems you are very much worried about your medications. As your case history is not in detail, you might have taken many/all available types(SSRIs) of medications. As you are not getting result, combination/augmentation of different antidepressants may help you. you must take regular help of psychologist.
You should increase your self esteem. please don't think yourself as a ginny pig. Remember-, your doctor is always more worried than yourself as you are not getting desired result. Keep faith.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
