Have you kept a log of when what medication was started, at what dosage, and when any effect was experienced, whether good or bad?
Some meds may take weeks or months to reach the intended effect. If it doesn't have a benefit, then it may not be worth the money paid for it, and whatever complications it can cause by side effects or interactions with other drugs. (In other words, has the med proven its worth the money?)
Doctors or studies can't really know how the meds affect you as an individual.
