RedBarchetta...I have had similar problems with meds, only a bit opposite; the docs always want to put me on everything under the sun but I'm super sensitive, plus I'm a recovered addict and won't touch benzos with a ten-foot pole. I am finally on a 'decent' mix of things but I'm not happy being on meds at all. I suspect they're not even doing much for me at all; I still have episodes that knock me on my *** for a week at a time. My new psychiatrist (whom I just fired) gave me a new prescription for that, claiming it was more important for me to be able to 'get around' than to think with a clear head.
I wish you luck on your journey.
It's challenging.
