Do you have access to a major medical facility?

I know Mayo psychiatric department has medication psychiatric specialists and counselors. A medication specialist with the experience and knowledge they have can not only provide counseling but go over options for medications and also monitor what is working or needs changing.

I see a psychiatric medications specialist who treats my PTSD anxiety/panic disorder. I went through a lot of testing and counseling first and then my psychiatric medication specialist worked with my other medical providers to prescribe a medication specific to me. It worked.

I now see her every 6 months with caveat if I need to come in sooner call. My PTSD anxiety/panic disorder was long term going back to Vietnam service, police officer, and then 5 shocks of ICD over a couple of hours. It all caused the condition but with my specialist and all my Mayo doctors I function normally and only occasionally need to talk or consider medication changes.
