It seems like we're not on a clear path anymore. I know with the pandemic, everything has gotten messed up, but still, I think that my psychiatrist and I have gotten off course. Perhaps way off course.

The reason I think this is because I'm on way more medication in terms of dosage and of the number of medications I take.

I just wanted to get your opinion as to whether I should find a new psychiatrist or not. It's hard for me because I've been seeing this one for around 6 years now, and I have generally thought he's done a decent job. But as of late, I'm finding myself more and more frustrated about the meds and what we're doing because we seem to lack a clear consensus. My parents repeatedly tell me that I'm basically the one to blame because I don't tell the psychiatrist the right stuff, etc. But hey, I mean I am the patient, I remind them. Any ideas on what to do?
What are the current meds and doses?
