I am struggling with the fact that my Doctor told me that the next course of action we are trying there's a 50/50 chance it will make things worse

It's still the next course of action and there will need to be adjustments and maybe more invasive options we may have to take if things don't get better. I wish she was more confident, but I know she can't know and it's a complicated situation. I guess I am mostly concerned that one of the meds they are wanting me to take is known to cause depression and I don't know if that's a smart move for me but maybe it won't cause me that side effect. I feel like they have to completely break me to put me back together and fix me. I guess I am just scared that I am going to have to go through hell and trial and error and maybe it won't even help in the end.I t's frustrating but all I can do is follow my doctor's advice and monitor myself and just hope that I don't fall too far down that black hole where I can't function properly.

I feel sure you've already sought a second opinion. Even if you haven't I have confidence you're making the best decision given what choices you have. You and your doctor will keep track of every day and she'll make any necessary adjustments. Yes you're struggling because it's scary but as I said you're making the best decision.
Please keep us updated.
