to be ceratin you have the right med and to have it fail again (and again...) is so demoralizing. I can't remember if you have ever written about therapy, but those of us who are so resistant to meds sometimes gain a lot from a good therapist. For me it is acceptance that while I can medicate some symptoms, I won't be the person I was. So I have dedicated myself to learning coping skills and get some degree of satifaction in mastering them. Is this something you can consider? I don't want you to lose hope that there will be a medication that will help you a great deal, there is so much we are learning on a daily basis- but until that day, if you could learn how to focus on the positives in your life (which I know is really hard), I think that may help. forgive me if none of this is useful to you, I care a great deal about you and hate to see you in pain.
take care, judy
