The interpersonal trauma and stresses that you have mentioned, beginning with your mother, are a strong indication that therapy will help much more than medications can. That's not to say that the medications don't have an important function; they do, but not to the extent that they would if you had schizophrenia or bipolar. I think you have chosen your medications wisely, and don't need to continue searching for a hypothetical "perfect" med -I don't think such a thing exists for you. From what you have posted, you haven't yet explored what really good therapy can do.
I'm so glad to see that you are interested in doing something about that. Will you let us know what the results of your search for a therapist are?
