keep notes on how you feel/percieve life for a while..take extra good care of yourself. It can take 5 or more to find the right fit for a bpr I am on 4 plus omega 3 oils.

It can seem pretty crazy sometimes. Sorry.
Since I take pills 3x/day, I have 3 pill cases. I just load them once a week and I'm good to go. I'm down to 3 meds for the BP and 2 for the MS. Plus one for cholesterol, some other stuff for pain every now and again. It adds up to 19-23 pills a day. Plus an inhaler, and one IM injection of interferon each week. It gets better. Just hang in there. Talk to the doc about this stuff the next time you see them. Good luck.

I just wonder if you might need a med change.If it is not working it is not working.Plus seeing your Pdoc every 6 mos does not seem like enough.I have gone like 3 mos before but 6 is too long esp if things are not working out.Maybe you need a new DR .If you are tellling him that you feel bad and things are not getting better then you may need to see someone who is more aggressive in treating you.

I've been dx bipolar for 16 years. I've been on as many as 6 meds for it at a time. I have seen a pdoc once a month the whole time. I've seen many therapists. Change is what works best. If it's not working, keep trying something different, new meds, go off old meds, new doctor, therapist etc. Exercise will make a huge difference and I mean taking a walk, riding a bike, not your usual job.
Never give up trying to feel better and you will feel better! Best wishes to you!
