You must be didligent and take responsibilty to a certain extent to learn what your options are and together with your Doctor get your dosages correct as well as your meds. Do you drink energy drinks or coffee? That stuff will blow almost any treatment out of the water. Can you sleep? If you arent sleeping well, that can mess everything up too.
