Antidepressants - finding the right one

Hi Village! I guess I’m looking for positive experiences regarding antidepressants.
I struggle very badly with anxiety and stupidly after 10 years of feeling good came off an antidepressant that was working and went down hill, now for 3 years I’ve tried several different ones including going back to old but I don’t seem to be responding.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer advice? Have you eventually found the right combination? I work really hard trying to maintain my anxiety through meditation, sleep hygiene, exercise, psychologist but can’t control it. I have general anxiety, panic attacks that control my every day. It’s exhausting but I just can’t mange it.
Thanks

It's taken me a decade to find the right combo. But I kept trying. A few times I felt better off with out but with in a few months I was consumed with depression. It pays to research, look at side affect, and get people's personal opinions on it.

I take pretique and iv had no side affects at all with it. It's the best anti perpressent iv been on. I use it with lamictol. It's used for epilepsy, but it's also a great antipsycotic. Only side affect if I do feel a little off when I'm due to take it and withdrawals kick in quickly with head aches and vertigo a few hrs after its due.
