I have been doing accupuncture treatments off and on for about 15 years for various iinjuries and what Jess said is right some practioners may be a better fit than others. Treaatments aren't a magic wand,I was told give at least 5 treatments. My last series was for my achilles tendonitis,I used it for pain and stress and less for specific tendon healing. It seems to really work -for me.You might try asking your practioner for ear seeds for a longer lasting effect (small seeds in your ears on points. They don't hurt) I also use chinese herbs but I'm not sure how that would affect you medications. For me some of the best stress relief has been riding my bike. I hope you can find something that works for you,don't give up on accupunture yet.
