My question for people here is about prescription drugs, and people who take them. I would like to know what prescription drugs people take, and what they take them for, and what dosage and length of time they have been taking them. I currently take two antidepressants. Wellbutrin 300mg for 21 months, and paroxetine 20mg for 15 years. I also take .75 mg of risperidone for anger and irritabiltiy associated with autism for 2 years. I appreciate anybody else who wants to share what they take, and there experience.
Thank you
How do these work for you? I'm wondering if an antipsychotic can help me, but I'm scared of Tardive Dyskenesia.
I've been on at some point in time:
Psychostimulants (7-8 years): Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin XR, Adderall, Vyvanse
Effexor: Hated it, withdrawals were hell
Luvox: to help get me off the Effexor
Wellbutrin XR: okay but crapped out on me after four months
Strattera: hated it
Lithium
Depakote
Prozac
Zoloft
Lamictal
Paxil
I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in the past, but I really don't have mood episodes other than depression, which I haven't had for years - maybe at the most, dysthymia.
Currently taking: Trazodone for sleep, as needed.
