It sucks when doctors assume its your diagnosis causing your issues when it very well could be your meds. I luckily have things under control regarding my psych meds and know enough to tell when something is off. But when I was 13 and 14 and everything was changing at one time and I was not in control of things, I had no idea.

I was on all kinds of psych meds when I was younger but like 5 or more years ago my doc took me off almost all of them and put me on Lithium and another med but I can't remember what it was. Then like a year or two later my doc retired and his replacement took me off that other stuff and put me on Latuda and I started that around 2012 or so and that was the only psych med I have been on until my wife passed away in November and I lost my insurance coverage.
My regular doc put me on a new psych med I cant remember what it but no have been on it a couple of weeks now cause I could no longer afford Latuda cause even with my new insurance it was still like $1500 a month. The place in am going with this is that when I was on all those meds I went inpatient 4 time in the first year of being on all those medications and a couple of times a year afterwards. I have not been inpatient since going to less medications and none after taking Latuda as my only psych medications.
