True, maybe the medication hasn't had enough time to really show its efficacy. My original thoughts were that the new medication was actually harmful and perhaps causing the problems, but only you would know this.

Can some of this be talked out with your therapist? Is medication the only answer? I'm only asking because I don't know.
