I use a cocktail of hypertension medications and am on lorazopam 1 mg. to make me sleep better.

Diagnosed with ASD, recently had my first episode of mild hypomania (almost 4 weeks), so my ps.doc thinks I have bipolar too bipolar II). Never experienced it before. I am 49.

Find the BP very upsetting somehow. I am normally quiet, shy and introvert. Functioned better overall, never did anything silly or worrying. Read and wrote a lot, so it was mostly in my head.

I'm on Prozac, Risperdal Consta, and Latuda for OCD and anxiety.

I'm on Gabapentin because I used to use phenibut for anxiety and I wanted to switch to something that was medically recognized. It's always hard to explain since Gabapentin is usually used for nerve pain and seizures. I used to be on a higher dose, which IMO helped my anxiety, but I was put on a lower dose since I wanted to taper off of it at one point.

none because i don't need nor want any.



i'd forget to take them and can guarantee you they'd have no effect.

I'll just list the psych meds I'm on.
Buspar/Buspirone~ for anxiety & panic attacks
Neurontin/Gabapentin~ for OCD
Wellbutrin/Bupropion~ for minor depression & for ADD, low energy & binge-eating but it's not helping the binging
Haldol/Haloperidol~ for a possible delusional disorder & so I don't get angry quite as easily
Klonopin/Clonazepam~ I take occasionally for anxiety, Essential Tremors, to help sleep, & to relax muscles.
Inderal/Propranolol~ for Essential Tremors but I haven't noticed any mental effects

Doxepin - Chronic Urticaria, IBS-D
Singular - Chronic Urticaria
Certrizine - Chronic Urticaria
Benadryl - Chronic Urticaria
Lyrica - urinary issues
Zolpidem - Sleep issues
Clonazepam - Sleep issues
Metochlopramide - Gastroparesis
Naltrexone - IBS-D, chronic pain, chronic urticaria
Medical Cannabis in various forms - anxiety, nausea, appetite, gastroparesis, IBS-D, chronic pain, ocassionally for sleep

I'm Prozac for dreadful anxiety from OCD. So far it helps block my OCD thoughts a bit and not care about them so much.

Paroxetine -> OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression
Abilify -> OCD, Autistic Irritability
Xanax -> OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder
Trazodone -> Sleep Disturbance

I take:
moclobemide (Aurorix) - depression
lithium (Quilonum) - depression
haloperidol (Serenace) - motor tics
benztropine - to stop the side effects of haloperidol
dexamphetamine - for ADHD, inattentive type

Symbicort - chronic asthma
Ventolin - for when I get wheezy.

I have been on Prozac since the beginning of this year for my anxiety.

I was taking Propranolol up until a few weeks ago for my tremor, but then I started having problems with orthostatic hypotension, which seem to be better without the Propranolol, which can lower blood pressure.

Currently taking...

Melatonin 10mg for sleep
Trazodone 50mg for sleep (have to take both this and the melatonin, or I don't sleep, literally)
Zyrtec, for seasonal allergies
Singulair 10mg, for seasonal allergies and mild respiratory issues
Sertraline 100mg for depression and anxiety
Lorazepam, don't remember dosage, as needed for anxiety (but I haven't been needing it because the depression has been so thoroughly overwhelming anything else recently)
Depakote, I think it's 500mg in the morning and 750mg at night, for self-harm urges

And I'm also getting ECT for my depression, self-harm, etc. - I think they've just moved me down to one treatment a week instead of three, even though it doesn't seem to be doing much good

Since others listed their nonpsych meds, I'll list mine.

Meds I have a prescription for
Xyzal/Levocetirizine~ for sinus & allergy problems
Singulair/Montelukast~ for allergies
Pepcid/Famotidine~ for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Proscar/Finasteride~ for male-pattern baldness
Docusate/Doc-Q-Lace~ take ever 3 days for constipation
Flonase/Fluticasone~ sometimes take for allergies & sinus issues

Meds I do not have a prescription for
Avodart/Dutasteride~ for male-pattern baldness
Aldactone/Spironolactone~ for male-pattern baldness, reduce sex drive & reduce body & facial hair growth
Arimidex/Anastrozole~ to counteract certain side-effects of the hormone meds like breast growth
Ditropan/Oxybutynin~ so I don't wake up having to pee as much & so I don't sweat as much
Protonix/Pantoprazole~ sometimes take for GERD
Prednisone~ take sometimes for a while for allergies & sinus problems
Sudafed/Pseudoephedrine~ take occasionally for allergies & sinus problems

I’m on a pill to lower my blood pressure and another one to lower my heart rate.

Remeron for depression (I have major depression with psychosis)

Seroquel for psychosis

Klonopin for anxiety/panic attacks (I have PTSD and GAD)

I'm on risperidone at 4mg for psychosis. This works rather well for me. At first it made the voices worse, and more clear, but then they went away and my mind has been free of static ever since.

I take Venlafaxine at 300mg but this is about to be put up to the maximum dose. It does help a little with my depression although I still fall into moderate depression regularly.

Lamictal, Keppra, and Depakote all to control my epilepsy.
