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?

Hi, I will stick my neck out and say that based on what you have said, You maybe would benefit from a professional psychologist as they would know about what talk therapy to enroll you on, and think about weening yourself off the med's as some times there more trouble than it's worth.
There is a huge difference between professional help and service provider, ask yourself if you want to move on with your life.
