I have a number of comorbids and take meds for them.
Strattera - ADHD (may not work for ALL ADHD, there are about a dozen different ADHD meds and they react differently with each person)
Luvox - OCD
Haldol - Tourettes
Neurontin - this is complicated but I tend to "freeze" when presented with a sudden situation change, like while driving, so it's really to help me drive better
Risperdal - antipsychotic commonly given to autistics, it makes me calmer
And two sleeping pills so I'm not so wired, Rozerem and Restoril. I also use Motrin to help me sleep. I also take stool softener, typical Wal Mart stuff, for gut issues leading to constipation.
That's a lot, but my doctor really knows what he's doing. The various comorbids were making my life hell, but with meds I can focus on being me and not be consumed by comorbids. I agree not to take street narcotics, they don't treat anything, they just dope you up so you're too smashed to notice your comorbids which is different from treatment. Marijuana may have treatment effects, but quality varies greatly, it's not something I'd like to risk.
