i need serious help
None of my medications have any effect, and I’m still as confident as I have been my whole life (not confident at all). Have I actually reached the end?

I'm not a doctor but what kind of medicine are you being prescribed and for what? Usually things like anti depressants take like 2-3 weeks to kick in and they aren't really something to take by themselves. They should be accompanied with something like therapy.
I’ve been taking lexapro and Wellbutrin for months + frequent therapy. 0 positive change.
what were you diagnosed with? Because I took lexapro for a while and asked to add wellbutrin but i gave me severe suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks. So maybe ask to get wellbutrin removed and always try to mention all your concerns to your doctor.
Same situation and lexapro gave me different issues. I had to be switched to mood stabilizers personally which was lamotrigine (stating this for op.) It helped a lot more with stability since I think anti depressants can actually be a depressant? I remember hearing voices and stuff taking one of the medicines and it can be such a scary thing to figure out.
This. I also got aripiprazole added recently to help with low mood.
That's actually crazy because when I first got diagnosed with my mental illness's, they gave me the exact same medicines. Did you tell them you don't feel it's working? It's better to change much sooner than later.
