How long have you been in therapy and on meds?

I've been in therapy for 16 weeks now. It took about 13 sessions just to get comfortable and to open up. I plan to be in therapy for a long while. I like my therapist and I like going. I consider her my own personal consultant.
The thinking is that the meds can only get me so far with fighting the depression. Therapy is needed to alter the behavior and thinking that cause and/or spur on the depression.
For the meds, I tried Zoloft for about six weeks then got off and went to Lexapro. I've been on Lexapro for four weeks now and I think it is starting to work at 20 mgs. The time I was off Zoloft convinced me that I need to be on a medication.
I've been in therapy once before many years ago. I've also tried meds before but only for less than a week. What I am trying to say is that where I am today, I kind of built up to it. Make sense?
