The meds that I've tried or am currently on are all standard meds for my disorder. The ones that I gave up due to side effects wasn't because the side effects were mild. They were severe, allergic reactions or possibly potentially fatal. I'm extremely med sensitive to any type of meds other than painkillers. I can't take any antibiotics or anti-inflammatories, either allergic to them or have an extremely bad reaction to them. Dosage increases and decreases have been a steady thing for me, I'm quite aware of that and how long it takes for meds to even kick in, and I am very compliant with treatment. I have not built a wall around me at all. If anything, I am the one that is more open than my pdoc. I've had several '2nd' opinions. Some ppl are harder to treat with meds, I guess I am one of them but it certainly isn't for a lack of trying.

I have been trying to find the right combo now for 4 years. Yes, it's very frustrating but I'm not going to give up. I don't want to feel like this. I want to feel better. So, my search will continue or dosages will be increased. I definitely need to discuss it with my pdoc. It is always a joint decision on what route we take. Thanks for your encouragement.
