My last p-doc told me "it's not normal for meds to just stop working, that means there's something else going on you need to deal with in therapy." I really did not like him.
Personally I think it totally makes sense that your brain changes with new chemicals then gets used to them and adjusts back to homeostasis, as in where it was at before. I personally felt that even favorite meds such as Lammictal would poop out occasionally and I could never see any correlation between those times and life events. However it almost always worked to take a "med vacation" - stop taking the med for a few days or week and then start again - which I think corroborates my tolerance theory.
