If you don't try it, you'll never know. You need to find someone who will stick with you until you've found what will help you.
Others on this board may know better about your med combo, but it seems to me you're too suspicious at this point. Understandably, given your past experiences with doctors, but don't ruin your chances, stay open-minded, while making sure you're well taken care of.
About your stress, well, things get better with time. You seem to be faring fairly well under the circumstances.
Keep hoping and trusting that you'll find something that will help you.
