what psychiatric med(s) are you on?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm currently on Keppra for seizures, but I don't know if any of its components are psychiatric in nature. I was on Celexa until about 6 months ago, and was told it might function as a mild anti-psychotic.

None, I prefer the paleo diet.

Straterra for ADHD symptoms/focus and Cipralex for anxiety.

I also have Olazapam to take for panic attacks and occasionally when I can't sleep because I am really agitated/anxious.

I don't do meds. It's been suggested before for ADHD and anxiety. They tend to make me very sick though so I will not take them. They also make my mind feel fuzzy.

I do sleep in a hammock, use a weighted blanket, keep lights dimmed in my house so I don't get overwelhmed, minimize extraneous noises, use fidget toys, take a warm bath every night for anxiety, and I have a couple of the autism oral sensory things to have in my mouth sometimes to help me study. Yes, I'm weird, but for me this works and keeps me med free.

40mg vyvanse, 20mg Prozac, 5mg abilify, and 20mg of prednisone is also really messing with my head too.

None.

Did take Lectopam (bromazapam) for a while as a teen when my anxiety was 96 out of 10. I don't think they'll even prescribe it anymore - it's like a nuclear class benzo. Too bad - it worked really, really, really well on my anxiety.

Took ativan a while back for a bit when I had a bump in the road with my anxiety - made me more sleepy than anything else.

None indubitably, but autistic stimming is my own "alternative medicine."

none. I want to learn to cope with things without meds.

I wish I knew, well Ive got a list somewhere but can't find it. ha ha

I know I'm on Sodium Valproate and an Injection every two weeks
Plus one of them I'm pretty sure sodium Valproate give me the side effect of Parkinsonian shakes, which Im taking a meds for that only takes one dimension of it away, pretty bad cos I really enjoy drawing SOMETIMES

smoking sometimes helps the shakes but Im soon to get on a new med for the shakes
Drugs too sometimes help with my social interactions and intelligent discussion (oh and silly discussion! )

And I know its not a real med but gym helps my mind GREATLY in disciplining my mind and stop it running too fast

I have taken Zyprexa. That is just one drug you take. I cannot imagine what must be going on in your brain processes to be prescribed all of these drugs.

Can you elaborate why you have to take so many ? Are theses to "stabilize you", or do you achieve greater "normalcy" with them ?

Thank you.
