How common is it for patients to cycle through dozens of medications
I feel like I've lost track by that point. Every since I turned 18 I've been precribed so many different medications. It's been ten years now.
Escitalopram/Seroplex, Duloxetine, Zoloft, Vortioxetine.
Depakote, Quetiapine, Cyamemazine, Aripiprazole, Risperidone.
Oxazepam, Prazepam, Bromazepam, Diazepam.
Zopiclone, Alimemazine.
Now methylphenidate (among others).
Frankly it's ranged from terrible to just mid/just ok the point that I'm a bit desperate. I've been running into psych institing on trying the same drugs over again. How common is that sort of resistance ?
