I have been on a ton of meds & combos of meds. Some I reacted poorly to, others worked for a while and then quit.
I see a psychiatrist, because theoretically they should have more experience and knowledge of psych meds.
Be careful of medicating the side effect of a medication, it can become a nasty circle, and you can end up on way too many meds. I almost died because of an incompetent psychiatrist that treated side effects and I ended up on a LOT of meds. Its not good
