it took almost three years and about 10 pdocs to find the right meds to stabilize me, but I was persistent and really advocated for myself.

This is what happened to me. I just kept slugging it out until I found the right doctor who gave me the right meds and became much better. I won't get into what I had to go through to get there. Every time I think about it, my mind becomes boggled. But I did have to become very knowledgeable about different types of meds and therapies.
