How is it that now after all these years I can barely tolerate anything anymore, and my depressed state is almost preferable to a medicated state which would require Klonopin, SSRI/Effexor, a Stimulant and a Fiber supplement?

I don't think you've got a bad attitude at all. I challenge anyone to go through 11 years of meds, repeatedly having success but to having to give that success up for reasons outside of your control.
Your attitude is a perfectly human and reasonable attitude; everyone would be looking for answers if they were in your shoes.
I've only been on the med trail for a couple of years and am already majorly naffed off with it.
Best wishes,
pedr.
