Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you are towards treatment resistant depression. In that case, you need combination of drugs that would help you to come out of depression. Carry on with venlafaxine and sertraline. Both are effective medicine in depression. You have to be patience in your case. Sometime, it takes time to get improvement with drugs. In case, you need further help, you can consult me.

Thanks
