For me, small doses of several meds are much better than large doses of any one. My psychiatrist calls it "fine tuning". I take Klonopin, Adderall, and Neurontin daily, plus Xanax as needed. I also take a bunch of vitamins and supplements (at very reasonable doses); fish oil seems to be the most effective of the lot.
Polypharmacy can be an appropriate treatment for some people, although it can be complicated. But it seems to work for me; it just takes a good pdoc to get it right.
