Will the trial of meds ever end.
I have been suffering from depression from long time and psychiatrists have given many meds. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety, antipsychotic, stimulant, mood stabilizer eg. nexito,clonaz, amisulpridie, methylphenidate, lithium. And of course other ssris,snri etc. I just had depression symptoms which don't go away 100%. Why are all other classes are being tried. After how many meds can one know that the illness is impossible to treat now. This trial and error made my condition worse and still changes are being done. I have a genuine request, plz tell me normally what is the protocol? Help me otherwise don't make us suffer to death.
