What are your meds?

So after over 15 years of living with depression I'm trying to get health insurance to get on meds. I never wanted to be a guinea pig trying diff brands and dosages (I still really don't), but this is my last chance bc I'm not doing well over here. If meds don't work, these would be my last days. I just can't fake it anymore. So, What are some of your med experiences? Did things get better? How long have you been or expect to be on your meds? Any recommendations at this point are greatly appreciated.
