Keeping Track

This is my first post, so bare with me.

I've suffered from depression for some time now, but started managing it with medication two years ago. Since I first started using medication as a form of treatment, I quickly discovered how pain staking the process is it was to simply:

A) Find a doctor

B) Get an Appointment

C) Get to the doctor in less than 8 weeks

Once I was able to overcome that obstacle, the medication was the next. I trialed at least 6 different medications within the last two years and I STILL don't feel good. My doctor will ask me if I want to go back and try the first medication again but it's been so long, I honestly don't even remember how well it worked. This is frustrating, isn't there a better way to do this?

I'm a senior in college so I'm still new to the world let alone the world of mental health.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks!
