Can I insist on changing medication?

So after seeing a Psychiatrist nurse for an assessment, who then spoke to the supervisor of my therapist, and she said I am better than I was when I started therapy. Which is partly true, but my concentration, motivation and hope are still poor. I'm self harming again, and still suicidal. I told her all this, but my GP has been advised to keep me on my current medication (and its the highest dose).
Basically, I can't carry on like this, and I feel that I need to try something else, and I've tried counselling and CBT and its not really helping so I feel that difference anti-depressants would be better. So can I say that I think I need to try something else, despite what the nurse thinks?

If you've been on them for a while & feel they are not helping, you can insist on a change of meds.
Good luck
Well I've been on this dose for 2 months and been about 3.5 months in total, the only thing its helped is for example my checking of locks.
OK, I think I'll maybe say that I think it'll help.
This good advice
