HELP-Doctor or Nurse?

I'm feeling extremely hopeless. I'll be 30 in 2 days. I'm on my second marriage-which is bad. I have 5 kids. I've had severe anxiety and depression for 10 years (not being able to work, drive alone, etc...). 2 years ago I quit going to doctors, 5 weeks ago I quit my Prozac, because after 2 yrs on it-it just wasn't doing much. When I went to doctors, had the normal blood tests run, all would come back normal. But yet, I'd still obsess there was something wrong, I've never accepted it's anxiety. So that's why I quit going to a doctor.
But I'm feeling like I'm never going to get well, I've gotton worse the more kids I've had-so no more kids. I feel like a waste and I'm only 30. I'm also currently about 70 pounds overweight, have severe exhaustion too, along with muscle aches. Could someone just "talk" to me? Anything? Help?

I've tried therapy several times, longest time was 9 months.  
I'm scared to try another med, I don't want to feel worse or feel like a guinea pig. Plus, meds aren't going to cure me.

it sound like your going through alot right now. maybe you should try another med because there are alot of them out there and i bet there's one or a combo that will help you. the depression makes me very tired too. what about therapy, have you ever tried it? if your dr. said you have anxiety and depression and has done several tests then that's probably what's going on. if you accept it and get the right treatment you'll feel so much better. take care. remar
