Please Ramon Paz don't do anything to harm yourself. You have come to the right place and you are reaching out for help- this is good! You say you are only many medications, this is called polypharmacy and while your pdoc knows what they are, is there a way you cut down and work with one to two meds at a time to try and figure out what is keeping you from functioning optimally?
There are many things you can research online from medical and pharmological as well as pychiatric journals on something called "pubmed".
Many of these should be able to be translated into Spanish- or Portuguese since you probably speak the later. They can be very technical but you can wade through to get some good info. If I may ask, what exactly is your diagnosis? It would be helpful to others on this board to know so we can help with med suggestions. That can really help you narrow down which meds to inquire about to your pdoc. I ask my pdoc about old and new anti-depressants all the time since I have depression and am being treated for it.
