Mr. lybrate-user you have been taking these medicines since 13 years but still you have not got any relief. Have you taken any kind of counseling along with the medicines? If not, then you are advised to go for it because only medicines are not going to solve your problem and so far, medicines have not given you any relief. Moreover, medicines are only giving you certain side effects. Counseling will work on the core of your problem, the counselor will guide you and help you to face face the challenging situations in a better and positive way. So, do not waste any more time and seek a counselor/ psychologist and go for counseling.

If formula 1, cars can't reach you to a place, can small cars do the same. You seem to be having resistant symptoms and very high potency drugs including clozapine have been given. 5htpn and l tyrosine are very very weak over the counter health supplements which are very expensive and lack much efficacy. Better come to terms with the illness and aim to select the medication group which gives best relief amongst the one which you have mentioned in consult with your psychiatrist. Good luck.
