Currently Zoloft, Strattera and recently added Geodon. The Geodon has made a significant improvement. I can do stuff now.

Right now I'm on Lexapro, Adderall, and Xanax for when I have extreme anxiety.

I've taken Sertraline(Zoloft) and Pristiq in the past. Both made me feel more jittery and the generic Zoloft made my OCD worse, not to mention they both gave me "electro-shock" type headaches.

Right now it's just Celexa. Have previously been on Risperidone (good) and Lexapro (meh). Looking to try something like Seroquel, Abilify, or Geodon.

I'm on:


200 mg of Tegretol in the morning, another 200 at night
20 mg of Abilify in the morning
1 mg of Ativan in the morning, 1 at night
1 mg of Cogentin in the morning and 1 at night


For a prn I have 1 mg of Cogentin if needed, 1 mg of Ativan and 20 mg of loxapine. We're talking about lowering my loxapine because it makes me sleep.

40 mg of celexa and 15 mg of concerta. So far so good, as long as I don't have a stroke.. :?

I suspect AS but have no reason/resources to seek diagnosis- depression, anxiety and selective mutism. It's not a cure for these labels, but I don't want to kill myself anymore, which was the objective.
