Sometimes when asked what I do, I reply, "Medical experiment." The truth, though, is that we're the employers and they (the doctors and therapists) are our employees. Give them truthful feedback - "These meds, these therapies are not working for me." And if you're desperate, tell them that, too.
Of course, this "advice" comes from one who tends to melt in the presence of any type of authority. It's not easy for me to muster the psychic mettle to tell doctors and caretakers they're efforts are less-than-successful. I don't know if you have any challenge like that. If desperation overcomes inhibitions, then it may be good, useful desperation.
