Dear lybrate-user, adding another antidepressant is warranted in certain cases. There are guidelines for its addition. One can not load himself with antidepressants however chronic it is. Please consult your psychiatrist about it. Since he is following you up for many years, he may add venlafaxine or a mood stabiliser ot therapy for psychosocial issues keeping the depression for a long time. It depends on the diagnosis.
