Check out this video, which I've posted before. This guy does a really good job of laying out a game plan for approaching meds. There's a chart in the video that, to me, is invaluable. You'll know it when you see it. It really helped me understand the different options and when you'd consider them. At the very least, it gives me something to discuss with my doctor.
