Sometimes after a sufficient trial period a med not working needs to be augmented with another medication or a medication switch needs to take place.
And sometimes psychotherapy is needed to reduce stressors that prevent a med from working properly.
You probably already know all this. Sorry.
I don't know what your situation is so I am in the dark there. But I am so very, very sorry you are not getting good symptom improvement. That can be so demoralizing and draining. Wish I knew what to say to help you!

Well said, @
Yaowen
Have you spoken to your doc about it, @
jesyka ?
Sometimes I get incredibly anxious that my meds aren’t working. This usually happens whenever I feel the beginnings of a strong fluctuation in my mood or when my sleep is knocked off as that’s usually the first thing I notice when becoming unwell. But I have remained well for over a year now so something is working. My anxiety is still there though
I hope you are doing as well as possible!
