perhaps being too dependent on western medicine could be a bad thing as well. Although it's fantastic for emergency prodcedures (ie: losing an arm) or for more advanced pain killers to increase quality of life, it's missing the other half - eastern medicines which actually build your systems and strengthen them with time. As for specifics, I'm not a doctor, nor a naturapath, so I've got no recommendations. It's just a suggestion in a different direction to look in. Just make sure you talk with a proper herbalist and a good doctor to make sure whatever you're mixing doesn't blow up on you
