Looking for advice on changing medications

Hey there! I'm Chelsea, 32F. Not really sure how this works, but I'm looking to try different medications than the fistful I'm currently on... They don't seem to be working as well as they used to, and I've gained a ton of weight while on them. :-/

I know exactly where you're coming from. I went through handfuls of various SSRIs, SNRIs, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers and stimulants before finally finding something that worked for me. Well, something that worked AND didn't cause horrific side effects. The unfortunate truth that we all react differently to meds makes this kinda stuff so difficult to treat. Hang in there. I hope you have a good doctor that listens to you. A lot don't.

I second what's already been said. Have gone through so many meds looking for the right combo. I'm currently (finally) on a couple that seem to be working well so far, and hoping that will last a while.
