I smoked weed for about 20 years. I feel better now, and I'm off my medication. I could take a hair follicle test. WOW!! !!

Hahahaha, that and trazodone. I don't have to worry about any piss or hair follicle test, which is sweet. Hell, I smoke with my business partner Clyde so I guess we're pretty set medication wise. Actually I'm "medicated" right now because I've been miserable with chronic strep throat the last five days.

I was on Wellbutrin, then Lexapro, then Prozac, which worked best for me. I ran out of Prozac not long ago, and have been without it for about a month now - I think I'm doing okay, though.

Zoloft for OCD and panic disorder. Don't really know if it's doing anything

Some Seroquel for anxiety and paranoia; seems to work well, but I've been lowering the dose of such. I intend to stop taking it eventually

Valium when needed

The last two help with some ASD symptoms, such as being overwhelmed when out of routine/doing things other than the interest.

Sex, sunshine, chocolate and fresh air, but maybe not in that order. Yes, I know that drugs do help but I'm the sort of person who thinks twice before even taking an aspirin.

none anymore, been on at least 20 different anti-depressants a few anti-psychotics, several anti-anxiety, and everything there is to try to help sleep disorders.

every single one causes me problems and the side effects are massively worse than the problem

down from a peak of over 30 pills a day to 13 at the beginning of the year and now to 5 per day

Zoloft, though I'm kind of trying to ween myself off it because it makes me tired!
