Does anyone have any suggestions why my anti depressants aren’t working anymore? I’ve been on 20mg for a month now after increasing after months on 10mg

That happened to me after 10 years, and it took me some long years of mid level depression to realize it (ugg!). Sometimes drugs lose effectiveness. Higher dose or different type may be needed. Explore this with a psychiatrist to see if you can find meds that work again.
