There's a reason for taking things slowly. They can't just give you one pill and have it magically fix you. If anything, giving you too high of a dosage at first is just going to mess with your body in a negative way.
And trying just one new med at a time allows you and the docs to know what effects are caused by what - so that you know what to remove and what to keep. It can be annoying when it seems like nothing works, but there IS a reason for it and a reason for them to be asking about how you're feeling.
So were the 10 years on meds and 13 years smoking weed at the same time? If so, then you don't truly have a good sense of what might work or not as they might interact - even if you're not consistently smoking a lot or whatnot. And if you know exactly what meds to take and what dosages for them, then why didn't you stay on them when they were working?
