Maybe you should start writing a journal, put down your emotions and whatever you're going through. Sometimes I think mood swings are because of your stressful lifestyle and what's going on. Medicines don't cure you, they just help you in some way. Also, there's a quote, "We are what we think". I look at it this way, if I see myself sick, I will be sick even if I have the symptoms so if I try to fight it off and think of myself as a healthy person, then I will be. Wish you well.
They may need to change your meds altogether, if they keep upping what you're currently on and it's not helping you. It may be something that you might want to address with your doctor. It sometimes takes quite awhile to find just the right combination and dosage. I was diagnosed with it at 13, been on every med imaginable, and just recently got put on a med last year that is actually helping. I am 40, so that tells you how long it took the drs to find the right med to help me.
They might need to change your meds all together. Also, start a journal, so you can get your feelings out without harming anybody and this will help you calm down. Talk to your professional about the meds change.
