For as many drugs as you have tried and failed, it seems to me that you have no better investment of your time but to give these drugs every chance of working. Remember, you have to be at your unique therapeutic dosage for 3-4 weeks before you can expect results. You have to consider that it may take weeks to reach that dosage.
Did you experience a brief "blip" improvement during the first week?
