Struggling with depression, depressive episodes, grief, anxiety, chronic fatigue.

I have been on antidepressants for a year and a half now 

Escitalopram 10mgr a day .

I don't feel anything different. Except for the side effects like sweating.
I also don't have the ability to cry anymore.

When I told this to my doctorS (my generalist and her assistant doctor) and therapist. They told me that it was because the medicine was working as intended. I got told i was expecting a miracle solution from antidepressants medicine.

I have been on another meds for a few months when I was a teen but i didn't feel anything and stopped with the help of my doctor at that time (different one)  can't recall the name of the med.

Since August i have been taking them with much less regularity and forgot them many times. Going through changes and schedule changes i legit forgot.

Doesn't feel any different tho.

So question: 

- is that normal?
- is the med indeed working as intended?
- what else can I try?
