I think docs really want to help and get frustrated with it too. They have never gotten many perks from drug company reps. Pens, food for the staff, sometimes dinners. All that is against the law now. Reps can't give them squat. My brother in law was a rep for Pfizer for many years so I had a window into what really went on.
I have been on many meds over twenty years and just keep playing the game. You can always go off all of them and see how you do. But then you might find yourself back on the merry go round. Hopefully they will come out with better ones.
What meds are you taking right now? I am guessing an AAP. Do the mood stabilzers help?
