whats the longest youve stuck to a med, and how long have your doc left them at the lower dose?

it can take a long time to find the right balance.

but there is one!!

Akira, you need the right meds and the right therapy. I see you have had a very hard life. Do not let these people who harmed you win. Give it some more time before you give up. You are 20, and you have not tried everything yet.

We care about you here.
