The problem I feel you have is you have gone through the basic tranche of medications. The problem is if you do not give any time for any drug too work.
I have been on various medications and the drug I take been on it now for over ten years, the drug a common one and works well, at sixty nine I will be put on a reduced dose for the rest of my life
Medications can take upwards of six weeks to work, it is important you give your medications time to work. In my case these medications , yes are habit forming although over time they can be withdrawn over time.
How many medications have you tried over the given time ?

The push of change. Remember you are in partnership with your GP as far as your health and treatment are concerned
