Don't give up hope, there are lots of pysche meds out there. You just gotten on the right one for you. Seeing a new doc might really help, bc some are more willing than others to listen to what the patient tells them.

I really hope you find your path toward stability. Good luck and I will look forward to reading more posts from you.

hey yeeehawww...these guys are right. there's multiple meds/combination of meds out there...stay hopeful as i'm sure one will work...

this is just a suggestion, but I know there's a member on here who admitted herself to a psychiatric in-patient ward to get her meds sorted more quickly. if you're feeling at your wits end, perhaps you could go down that route?

in any case, i know you'll get better with the right treatment. how you feel at the moment is temporary and transient, no matter how difficult it feels.

I found the pdocs in the hospitals I have been in have helped a lot to get me on the right meds. Its kind of a last ditch move but it seems to work pretty well.
peace & hugs
