If I understand you correctly, you're wondering why your doctors would like you
to continue treatment?
Well, considering you and I have never met, I'd say to trust your doctors in
their judgement. It is a team effort between the two of you. Sure, when you
have concerns, you should voice them; however, you should also make sure to
listen to what they have to say as well.
I'll put it to you this way. While my condition is no where near as bad as
what you may be suffering, I do suffer from mental illness as well. Major
Depression. Over the years, the doctors and I thought it was one mild form of
depression or another. But here we are fifteen years later and I still suffer
occasional symptoms, except that they can get pretty bad from time to time.
Nonfunctional bad, if I'm not on antidepressants.
I used to refuse a second medication, believing one was enough. But now I
listen to my doctors a little more, and recently accepted a second medication.
I was afraid of having bad side effects, when I had almost none with the one I
was taking. Lucky for me, the worst side effect I'm having is extra drowsiness
in the day -- and that one is debatable since I've put on quite a bit of
weight.
I hope I made myself clear. Do try to take care of yourself, Doubleman.
