Gabbi:You are in Canada like me, right? We likely have similar med experiences. Do you have a doctor who is *willing* to go that extra mile for you..to get into some tricky med combinations? My little theory is that many individual psych meds developed over the years do very little by themselves. With the complexities of our chemistry, we need complex chemicals! LOL!
So, we can get that by mixing and matching...and finding something that tends to some of our worst syptoms.If your current doc won't do it for you, it may be time to get another. I hear of so many people who wtruggle on just one medication, doc adds nothing else, and it mind as well not be worth taking the med alone. As a writer just put it...it seems the more chemicals we muck around with, sometimes the better. (There are exceptions..of course.)
Anyhow...what med(s) are you on now? Please let us know..
Best wishes,
Jay
