Need stronger meds: Dandruff is also known as seborrheic dermatitis but psoriasis can closely resemble this condition. It would be best to be evaluated since you have tried several over the counter shampoos with little success. It is important to keep the scalp hydrated and moisturized as well. If you do have seborrheic dermatitis, you might need a stronger shampoo and treatment to aid in removing the flakes.

To stop dandruff: Dandruff will keep coming back. To clear it up, use a shampoo containing selenium sulfide at least twice weekly until it clears; then once weekly to prevent dancruff from recurring. If this otc solution doen't work, there are shampoos containing anti-fungal agents available by prescription, that are used the same way. So, if the otc solution fails, see your doctor for a prescription shampoo.
