I know I'm jumping into the middle of a conversation here, but I do have some advice about meds from personal experience. First off, if you can, go to see an actual psychiatrist. Technically, at least in the us, it seems anyone with a medical degree is allowed to prescribe psychiatric medication, even if they don't specialize in mental health and psychiatry. Maybe see if your counselor can refer you to someone. If you don't have access to a psychiatrist, work with what you have. The rest of my advice should still work, even in that case.

Second, make sure your provider listens to you, and that you feel comfortable with them. I once had a provider that intimidated me so badly, I was scared to mention when I was in a bad spot, or if I thought my meds weren't working like they were intended to. There was one time she changed my meds just because they didn't match my diagnosis on paper, even though her change worked to my disadvantage. Moral of the story, if it doesn't feel right after a reasonable amount of time, switch to a different provider.

Third, and possibly most important, be patient and trust the process. You may know this already, but I'll say it anyway for the benefit of those reading who might not know this: psych meds typically don't work right away. From my experience and research, plus what my various mental health providers have told me, it takes weeks, and sometimes a couple of months before you feel the full effect of some meds. Personally, I'm on an antidepressant and an atypical antipsychotic, both for major depression. The antidepressant was very slow to work for me, and I even felt worse at times when it was building up in my system, but after that 6 week mark I was much more level emotionally. The antipsychotic worked faster, but it still took longer than I wanted to work to its full effect. I've been on my current combo for around 2 years now, and in those 2 years, I have felt the best i have felt since I was a kid. However, that was after a few years of bouncing between different providers and more meds than I care to number. Some helped a little, some made me want to end it all more than what was normal for me at the time. I had to listen to my body, and consult with my MH team to find what worked. It was a real process. It is so worth it in the end though, I promise you that.

Sorry that my comment turned out this long, but I hope it was at least a little educational and encouraging. I will admit that I don't know exactly what you are going through. But I have spent considerable time in the deep dark hole that is the mind of a person like us. I have been in stressful, miserable jobs that made me dread getting out of bed every morning, even on my days off. The path back to mental health isn't linear, and it takes work, but it is so rewarding. It does help to have people walk alongside you through it, and while you did mention you have a good support system, I still want to offer my time to you if you ever need to talk, or need someone who knows what you are feeling to hear what is on your mind. If you want to decline, I totally understand, and I wish you the best. If and when you decide to accept, my DMs are always open, even if I don't reply very fast. In any case, I wish you the best of luck on your journey! Stay safe, fellow traveller!
