My suggestion is take the advantage of a new psychiatrist and tell him/her that after two years your feeling let down by the system and whilst it's not a criticism of him/her you need to find the right medication or combination to help you get well again and that your doing everything you can for yourself to get well but need the full support of the professionals.
As for mum, well her issue with meds is her issue and not one you share, I'm sure if she gets a cold she takes something, if she gets a headache she probably takes paracetamol, if she broke her wrist she'd go to A&E and do exactly as she was told so don't take any criticism.
Turning to wedding... give yourself permission to go but also to stay for as long as you feel comfortable, may be don't leave at the first signs if any anxiety as it will be unreasonable to think your going to be anxiety free, use it as an opportunity to practice your CBT and hypnotherapy and to leave anytime afterwards?
Just goung will be a major milestone for you and something you can use as an example of your experiences, feelings and self help fir your new Psychiatrist.
Hope that helps Paula and gives you some advise and motivation.
I sincerely hope you do go to the wedding and you must tell us all how you got on inc psychiatrist whatever the outcome as you know you will get support here.
