Having a good pdoc is vital for your good health even though you'd had to drive an hour away. Your health is the most important thing you have, without it you have nothing.

So do try your best to find a doc that will help you as much as he/she can. Maybe you don't need all the meds, maybe you do. Just time and talking to this new doc will tell. Tell him everything, your experiences etc., and you two should figure things out.

Wish you the best!
