I also have a similar history to yours (including the part where only opiates improved my depression). When I went to my current shrink I was on 6 meds and he has tapered me down to 1 full-time, I take 2 others when necessary. Thanks to intensive therapy and an astute dr. I feel 100 times better then I did 2 years ago. I think the majority of your symptoms are probably due to polypharmacy, and your first step is to find a really good therapist who hopefully can recommend a shrink to help you taper off the majority of your meds. This is a fairly long process, but it is incredibly worth it- I went from a suicide attempt to having a baby in the last year. I still have problems, but I'm able to work on them and no longer feel like giving up. My prayers are with you- judy
