Thanks for posting!

I am sorry you are having such a hard time finding the right medication to help you. I know that this can sometimes be a very difficult process. Unfortunately, many times it is a matter of trial and error to find what works best for you because everyone reacts to medication differently.

I would suggest keeping a log. Each day write down what medication you are taking, the dosage, what you are eating (some foods can interfere with how medication works), and how you feel. This is great to share with your doctor so you can make the right decisions about your medication.
