Ugh, not fun for you, eh?
Here's my advice: Make a list of all the drugs and combos you've tried so far. Add another column with the benefits you got from these. Another column with the side effects. A fourth column detailing why you finally changed from this.
Look over the resulting spreadsheet, and think about the good there. Then take that to the doctor, discuss it with him, see if he has any words of wisdom after looking at it in black and white.
First of all, he may see something that hadn't struck him before. Secondly, you may feel a little better, enough to help you hold on, just because you're doing something positive. Third, it gives you a reason to see him one last time, which will help soothe your guilt at 'rejecting' him.
So, it's a win-win situation. You won't feel bad about putting him off, you will get some sort of help right away, and it's going to do you good with any new p-ddr too.
Good luck, and hold on!!!
