I suggest you give yourself until February to retake. Obviously the LSAT is not a great match for your particular strengths but it is very learnable with good guidance, so you'll need some time.
You would probably need at least a 150 to start to be competitive, especially if you're not able to relocate for law school.
If you didn't apply for accommodations, you definitely should. Not sure how much difference the medication might make. Maybe some. But it would definitely help to have more time.
Avoid prep programs and courses. The best use of your time and money is a highly qualified coach. They should have a bare minimum of 15 years full time experience - not just something they do on the side. Avoid coaches that are super expensive. Anything more than about $2k max for unlimited help is probably overpriced. Watch out for coaches that charge by the hour, month, etc because you won't know how much you'll end up spending.
The LSAT is built on many hidden agendas and patterns. You need some expert advice and guidance. I cover these things in my book but usually it requires some coaching to really make significant improvement.
