18 severely depressed..zoloft, effexor..trazodone no help?

Im 18 years old and I have some questions concerning the combination of Zoloft(150mg), Effexor(75mg), and trazodone.(150mg)
A brief history: I was diagnosed depression, anxiety disorder and ADHD about 3 years ago.  My mother  committed suicide 3 years ago and suffered from manic depression and anxiety disorder.  
I think my depression is getting much worse.I am on all three medications right now and ...just feel feelings of hopelessness absolutely no energy or desire to do anything, nothing at all interests me, i feel anxious in all situations, a constant feeling of blah, negativity, I am just so unhappy with all apects of life and I seriously cant come up with a reason to even wake up in the morning.  Why?  I'm just going to feel like **** and nothing feels good or even alright.  The only time my mood slightly escalates is when I know i'm about to get drunk, or when i'm drinking.  Shouldn't these medications be..working?  Is there some adverse reaction with the combination? It gets to the point where I have no motivation or interest in even like..being awake. I would greatly appreciate some feedback or medication *suggestions*

I know because of having a teen (16.5) that teens and young adults metabolise medications differently than people whom are a bit older..I just got my meds changed today for depression/anxiety..am..Wellbutrin, Lamictal ( great med for me stops racing thoughts, worries) Klonopin ,,,1 pm Klonopin,,,bedtime Lamictal, Klopopin, and celexra.

Is there any chance do you think that your depressed plus anxiety.

I am sorry about your mother..there is a suicide help for those who lost family members..dont know exact name..its first word is suicide look under forums you will find it maybe it can help you to talk w others who are in your shoes.

Good luck

Hi, I take  effexor and celexa together and zoloft is in the same class.  I have heard of people takin the two together.  I have takne trzodone but by itself...couldn't take it as I walked around like a Zombie.  How long have you been on this cocktail? You could call your doctor and let him know your meds are not helping, call your pharmacy to find out about drug interactions.  There is a place on this site under the DRUGS section that will allow you to put in all your meds and it will indicate the risk of interactions.  Hey, I know of a girl that is 18 that I met on another site and she has been thru her dad commititing suicide.  She helped me when I was very suicidal and it may help you to email her, at least she can relate to what you have been going thru and perhaps help.  Are you going to therapy?  I will send you a message with the girl's email address in case you want to contact her.
