Is my medication making my mental state worse? (paxil/wellbutrin)

I was first put on Paxil when I was 16, it didn't help but only made me tired and feel somewhat off. I was then put on Effexor and my mood and state didn't improve from that one either , pretty much same results, a few years ago I was put on a newer one of which I forget the name ,but same thing except I got very moody after a few months and stopped taking them , gradually. Within the years of taking anti depressants I never felt as if any actually helped me, I also saw a psychiatrist in highschool because I was cutting myself as well and actually only started cutting myself after put on Paxil, not sure if that made me worse it not but I am sure that none actually made me any better. Years later, now , I still suffer with slight depression and moderate anxiety. But I deal with it . I go to the gym a few times a week and this has helped my mood and energy tremendously , even when I don't want to go I make myself and thank myself later on . I know others may disagree, but from my personal experience I never got anything positive from taking any type of anti depressant medication. I think our world is fixed on an easy quick fix and I don't believe medication is the answer for everyone.
