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 think it’s actually a good thing to have a doctor who truthfully tells you they don’t know. I’d much rather have that, than an over confident doctor who falsely thinks they know everything.
