We are just starting down this path…hopefully ours will be a slow walk. So I have no advice, only sympathy. We, too, are skeptical of trying drugs. Even the neurologist said “you can try xyz if you want,…..” Not a vote of confidence for the meds….best wishes. This group is wonderful!

We just had a long talk with our daughter in law who is a practicing Psychiatrist to ask her opinion on the effectiveness of the pills. In a few words her advice is to try them and if the side effects are noted just quit them, of course under medical supervision. But there is not enough evidence as to what is the efficacy.

Remember, there is always an exception. When times get rough you may want to rethink that. Good luck.
