I think you're on to something.

The medical profession as a whole is trained to match meds to symptoms, and then ensure that the patient is given those meds so the Pdoc is covered legally. They aren't trained to try to figure out where those symptoms are coming from and try to resolve them so the patient gets better. When I was seeing a naturopath for some issues, he told me he went into that profession as his mother who was a Pdoc shared an building with a naturopath whose 'patients actually got better!' because the goal was to figure out what was going on and fix it naturally. That's the opposite of what psychiatry does as they need to keep you coming back month after month so they can pay their bills.

Have you checked the side-effects of your meds to see if what you're experiencing could be related to them? The reason I ask is because I know from being on meds for over 13 years that they have things like anxiety and depression as side-effects, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the combination couldn't include hypomania or mania. I can't tell you the insane side-effects that I experienced and have seen family members experience to the point that's the first thing I consider when I hear about strange new symptoms emerging.

Based on all my research over the years of treating myself using natural supplements, I've read that most antidepressants are only slightly more effective than sugar pills over time. That's why you see so many people taking multiple antidepressants and mood stablizers which should tell us that they don't address the root of the problem, they just calm and sedate us to where we're manageable.
