Well, 4, in the world of psych drugs is nothing. And it's a crap shoot - you just have to try other things - and stay on them until they reach their "effective" level (which, on average, is 6-8 weeks) before switching to try a different med.

It's not fun and it's no guarantee that anything will ever help.

But it IS a guarantee that if you:

1) don't stay on a med for at least as long as it takes to become effective in general (barring, of course, horrific side effects - as all meds come with side effects many of which are passing and you have to "take the good with the bad")

your body will become resistant to medication treatment

and

2) if you don't keep trying, you definitely won't find a medication that may help you.

I wish you the best. Keep posting!
