Accepted Answer

Not effective?: Need more information to understand your primary concern - is your concern the regimen is not effective, or too much? or is your concern with the regimen itself?

If your concerns remain or regimen is ineffective, a second-opinion consult may help to explore treatment options further.  Be well.
