Just wanted to add that yes, I have pretty much accepted the meds as a fact of life, perhaps for my entire life. I hope there will continue to be improvements in meds so that eventually, I can take meds that have better "aim". I think the polypharm approach has helped to achieve somewhat better aim by combining to achieve as much of the desired effects as possible with as few of the undesireable effects as possible, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Someday, we will each have a custom-made pill that gets the recipe just right for our specific biologies.
If you still feel suicidal, there is still some work to be done in finding the right combo of meds for you. Don't give up. The search is worth it.
