Couple of thoughts. I did the medication thing, and I did feel less extremes on all sides of emotion. But it helped, and it worked. After a while, I got better.

My sister is on medication for depression. When she doesn't have it, you can see the effects in a couple of days. With it, she's an incredibly energetic and passionate person. That's been going on for about 15 years now, I suspect it will be a lifelong thing.

There's also some research surrounding the use of anti-depressants in adolescents. Basically, a lot of the time it can be of little use, but sometimes works well. Really depends on the mix of drugs and individuals.

You say you've been in therapy since January. Mind if I ask what sort of therapy? Again I go back to the research (is my nature) - CBT works, especially in adolescents. But if it's not working for you, then I would give the drugs a try. Speak to a doctor though, I'm no medical professional.
