Yes, quite a few. For depression, anxiety, acid reflex, insomnia and high blood pressure (due to stress).

Yes, my psychiatrist prescribes me an anti-depressant, an anti-anxiety med, and a mood stabilizer.


What mood stabiliser do you take ? How do you get on with it ?

Last year, things got to the stage where my GP decided to prescribe the anti psychotic drug Olanzapine (Zyprexa). I have found this effective in maintaining a steadier mood.

I also take the pyscho-stimulant slow release methylphenidate Concerta XL for ADHD.

Slowly weaned myself off zyprexa. So far so good. I am in regular contact with my doctor. I think she misdiagnosed me, but she often shares a good advice and that is all that is really relevant. I am fully aware of the possibility of psychotic relapse, therefore i take whole this process with caution.

I am on one ADHD medication, and two different Antidepressants for depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I also take melatonin to help me sleep, and iron for anemia. I also have a prescription for Ativan, a sedative, for emergencies.
