You do understand how homoeopathy works don't you? That we take a detailed case and attempt to match the deepest disturbance in your health to a specific medicine?
Your homoeopath should have taken 1-2 hours the first time to gather enough information to prescribe with some confidence. It is usually many pages of information, and this is often a minimum needed for a good prescription.
So if you were determined to have someone prescribe for you on an internet forum, you would need to provide at least as much information, if not more since it is much harder to get to the truth of matters here.
Also, someone who actually has access to your history and symptoms would need to determine if the remedy has had no effect, or if it is a dosage or potency problem. Many times I have heard patients say 'the remedy did nothing', but on going through the case it is clear that it in fact did do something. There may be a need for repeat doses, changes to the method of dosing, or a change to a higher or lower potency.
However, it is vital you establish a good working relationship with a homoeopath, whose first prescription may not be helpful, but who will be able to make more precise prescriptions as they gather more information about you.
Being a homoeopathic patient can take dedication and committment too, so unless you don't have any faith in this person, I would not be jumping ship so quickly.
I think that at least 3 prescriptions should be attempted with the one homoeopath (at least) before moving on. In my own clinic I stop charging fees after this, until the patient begins to experience positive changes.
Constitutional homoeopathic prescribing is a lot like counselling - you need to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with the practitioner, to get the best result.
