Medications can be frustrating because 1) it sometimes takes a while to find the right combination and 2) in my experience, a lot of anti depressants take about 4 to 6 weeks before they kick in. It's an unpleasant process, so I really feel for what you're having to go through right now.

If it's possible, find a new doctor. If the next one doesn't work for you, keep looking. It's SO important to feel like you can trust the person writing prescriptions that have such a huge impact on your life. For about a year, I made the mistake of letting my GP handle my medication, and it was a constant battle because I told her I was having awful side effects, and she would tell me it couldn't be the medication for XYZ reasons. There were other problems, but ultimately I went looking for another doctor.

I eventually found a psychiatrist who listens to everything I say. If I feel like my medication isn't working or the side effects are too unpleasant, he'll suggest several different options. Most importantly though, he NEVER disregards what I tell him. And I trust him to make sound decisions about my needs.

I hope you can find someone who is a better fit, and I wish you all the best.
