Not to scare you or anything, but it took me 7 years to find the right medications. I have been on most meds out there, some 2 or 3 times. It's all about finding the right combo, which can take time. In the past 5 years I have been on the same ones, but I've had a couple added and dropped here and there. I'm currently on 6 psychiatric medications, but they keep me pretty stable, so I'm not going to mess with anything. There's a genetic test you can get to see which meds will work best for you, but I'm pretty sure medicaid doesn't cover it and I do believe it is pricey. Good luck.
