How many people are on medication here?

Just curious

10 mg of paroxetine (SSRI) per day, it helps stabilize my mood and avoid exagerated (maybe...) emotional reactions (especially at work )

I was on a whole run of meds including Aricept

now I take "supplements"

I'm taking something called Huperzine A. That has the same method of action to Aricept, by unlike aricept it is derived from chinese club moss. I tell you I feel ten times better on i that I was on Aricept. It is supposed to be safe and it crosses the blood brain barrier much more readily.


it is being studied by Harvard and the Chinese for alzheimer's amongst other things, with promising results. The greatest thing is it is relatively cheap and you don't need a prescription. But don't be fooled by the "supplements" status. it affect different people differently I'm on 400 mug most people cant take more than 100 mug. But then again my brain is spectacularly f****d up.

Effexor 75mg
synthroid
B100 complex
multi vit
omega 3

The suppliments are only "when I remember", which I frequently don't because i have to take them with food and I don't eat often...plus I hate swallowing those big honkin pills.

I take carbamazepine which is a mood stabilizer.

I'm on Geodon (120 mg) and Prozac (30) and Cogentin (2) for side effects. I'm happy I switched from Zyprexa (10 and then 5 and then 15) because I gained 16 pounds in 3 weeks on it and now Geodon is making me lose weight; I lost 5 pounds in 5 days. Haldol (5) did horrible things to me, Celexa (20 and then 40) took away my social anxiety and depression and was good but I can't take it any more.

Prozac for depression. It seems to work, I don't feel the soul crushing depression I had a few months ago. But I'm still always nervous and tense unless I'm all alone.

I take zyrtec and birth control pills. I'd like to do without both but then I'd be pregnant and covered in hives, and that would suck more than taking pills.

high dose of tegretol retard-for meltdowns,and TN.
propranalol-for meltdowns
tylenol co codamol red and white ones [strong codeine mix] for 'PRN' -for use post meltdown,and unofficially used as chemical restraint.am use it to numb senses also to help with noises,though am getting a med better designed for that,rather than relieing on the side effects of this one.

*counting the pill bottles* ... *still counting* ... *lost track - recounts the bottles* ...

30mg of Paxil and 45mg of Concerta.

My ADD is manageable, and there's not really much I can do for AS and OCD. I don't need pills, nor do I want any.

None, although I could probably use something in the sleep aid, focus, and anti-anxiety areas.

zoloft, adderall, and ambien. The older and more bitter you get, the more meds you need.

That's good to know.

I am vulnerable to heel cracks so I rub some Flexol heel balm on them from time to time
