Hi,
Personally I don't believe there is any point in being on so many meds if you are not really feeling much better. I doubt very much that they are all have some special synergy when taken together. How do you know which drug is doing what? I think with your psychiatrists guidance you should start eliminating some of them, maybe come off them all and start again from scratch, who knows you might even feel better off them than on them. I think that it's irresponsible for psychiatrists to have patients on so many drugs at once.
I know that you have already taken numerous drugs but there must be others that you haven't already tried.
I agree with Dr Martin Jensen's methods, he prescribes medication in sample doses, no more than five to seven days worth of each and taken one at a time, with an antidote to relieve unwelcome side affects. He briefly compares them first to find an exact match that works the same day. He believes that the farther a cure is from the problem, the longer it takes to work if it works at all.
Surely his methods would be more preferable than doing what your psychiatrist seems to be doing which is adding more and more drugs to the mix regardless of whether they are working or not.
