You need to be properly diagnosed by at least one psychiatrist. My "type" is major depressive disorder. It may never be exactly easy to get matched up with the right meds, and the right diagnoses. My primary care provider has been amazing with my medications, but there were a lot of times when she basically threw meds at me to see what works. Finally, we were able to find a med regimen that works. If you don't mind me asking, what is your clinical diagnosis?
