Hi,
I don't mean to be discouraging, but I've been on various combinations since about 1994 and have come to think there's never really permanent "success"-- it's more just an ongoing process of symptom and side effect management. When I find an acceptable combo (effective and with tolerable side effects) it seems to wear out after a couple years, or else I start to get tired of the more subtle side effects that seemed acceptable when I was in a crisis state.
You just have to keep working it. Therapy is also a big part of coping and managing things for me.
