I have tried a lot of different meds over the last 7 years (anti depressants, mood stabilsers, anti psychotics)and nothing really made much of an impact, or they did and stopped after a short time. I'm sure a big part of that was poor med compliance.
A little over a year ago I stopped my meds and decided to go med free. This lasted about 9 months before I decided to try again thanks to my worsening depression. I left it too long I think, and again was **** with the whole compliance thing, and I ended up going inpatient. I was there a month. Started on additional meds and doses increased. I have been on them all before but at different times, but I do feel this combination is working better than others. I'm in no way cured, and also aware I have only been out of hospital for a month, but I am managing for the most part. I have only selfharmed once in the last month, that in itself speaks volumes.
This is a long winded way of me saying meds might help, perhaps you need to try a different combination of meds you already tried. Hope you get to feeling better soon and the therapist is a good fit
