shotgun, if you think it's the meds or not, go and see your doctor, they did dreadful things to me and I soldiered on taking them and it got worse! There are other meds that you can be moved to although there are many in the healthcare world that do not believe in meds to deal with depression.
I may have said this already, but have you tried looking into the non-spiritual practise of Mindfulness Meditation? It is working wonders for me and it took effect far faster than meds (that I stopped taking under guidance from my doctor). Your doctor should be aware of this type of therapy, if they don't Google "Mindfulness Meditation Oxford University Mark Williams".
What Mindfulness did for me was to, almost immediately after a bit of practise, stop my head feeling like it was going to explode as there were so many thoughts going on, all of the time, so I couldn't sleep, eat or enjoy anything. I use it now to keep myself in check and heading in the right direction, being 100% open, I may not be part of this world if it wasn't for Mindfulness.
