Allison,
Thank you for sharing your story. I found it very interesting.I think the realization that more emphasis should be put on medication exploration is a good one. I understand your reluctance to take meds. I think we all feel that way. But at some point it becomes beneficial and constructive to face the realities head-on and do our best to be open to medications, because the right one--when it's found--will totally turn your life around.
I would encourage you to ask your doctor to help you with this issue of accepting medications. And I would give him the go-ahead to get aggressive. You've already had several drug trials. Even though they were negative, they were meaningful. The reason is because they provide clues as to where to go next and what to avoid. In your shoes I would be wanting to try meds from different classes not yet explored.
Just wanted to say I feel for you. I can relate. And I'm on the sidelines cheering for you! JohnL
