As for your question as to how you tell which med is doing what when you're on lots, in my opinion, unless it's an emergency, a good doctor should only add one new thing at a time. If you're already on lots, it's more of a problem, it depends on the person, if nothing really seems to be working anyway, you might as well wean off all the meds, SLOWLY, one med at a time, watching for reactions and then start over. But obviously this wouldn't be safe for everyone. Unfortunately a lot of pdocs haven't a clue what they're doing, in my opinion, hopefully you can find someone you have confidence in. If they want to change several things at once, ask why. It certainly might be appropriate in some cases, but they should tell you what they're doing and why. If they look at you with a sneer on their face and ask "where did you go to medical school?", run out the door. Cecilia
