only a doctor can tell you what medicine is right for you, but here's my story/advice.
i am on a ****tail of medications to make me feel better. many also believe that there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance, but that opinion is up to you. i don't believe i have a chemical imbalance but i do know that its not "normal" to feel hopeless, depressed, suicidal, etc...
the person you were before meds and the person you are now is the same person. you are not depression, you are not Attention Deficit Disorder, you are not anorexia... you are you and those things that accompany your life are just components of your personality. mood disorders are hard to deal with as most of our decisions get based on how we feel that moment and that may get us into trouble big time.
if you go off your medicine, you are still you but the feeling lousy you. if you continue on medicine, you are still you but the feeling good you. i know what its like to have a poor self image, but i honestly think that the more you accept how you are on the inside, the outside starts to look better too.
maybe you need a different drug? good luck with everything and don't give up. post here as much as you need to, and i will be here for you.
