ahalo Posted December 19, 2012 This is mostly out of curiousity but I'm wondering if people could put the name of the meds they're taking, the dose, and what they're prescribed the med for (for example, some meds help with anxiety, some help with sleep but also are antipsychotics, etc). My current cocktail: Lamictal - 400 mg once a day - depression Cymbalta - 120 mg once a day - depression & anxiety Methylphenidate - 20 mg 3X day - ADD Thorazine - 250 mg at night, 25 mg as needed - higher dose is for sleep, lower for anxiety Risperdal - 3 mg once a day - delusions Next.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TakeAChillPill Posted December 19, 2012 I take 15 mg Abilify so I dont get paranoid or have anxiety. I take 20 mg prozac for any depression. I also take 1 mg Ativan at nIght before bed for insomnia issues. I take benadryl for sleeP as well on a Prn basis. Thats it for me. I tried concerta for add inattentive type and found it worked better than the other stims but unfortunately it caused too much anxiety even at sub theraputic doses.

mambo Posted December 19, 2012 450mg Welbutruin - depression 15mg Abilify - depression/paranoia/hallucinations 40mg Adderal - ADHD ...and I might have stopped 200mg lamictal without my pdoc's advice (she has canceled 2 appointments and didn't call me back). It was for mood stabilization/depression, but made me feel like shit. Taking it did more damage than good; I was stably depressed, but feel fine now. I'll finally see pdoc tomorrow though.

hagar Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Do two meds qualify as a cocktail? Invega- mood stabilization and antipsychotic Amitriptyline- depression and sleep Also, I smoke and drink coffee all day every day. So nicotine and caffeine, which seem to help with my anxiety. Seem to, but probably make it worse in the long run for all I know. Edited December 19, 2012 by hagar running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jt07 Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) My entire cocktail is to treat treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. It works very well for me. But here is a breakdown of how the meds affect me: Citalopram - antidepressant that helps a little with depression and a lot with anxiety Remeron - antidepressant that does very little for me Abilify - simply the best for my depression; excellent Carbamazepine (Tegretol) - keeps me from becoming suicidal - very effective Lamotrigine - Not sure what this does for me Ritalin - augments my antidepressants and helps with possible ADD Edited December 19, 2012 by jt07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larkspur Posted December 19, 2012 Just the head meds - Lithium, 900mg - mood stabilization, helps with intrusive thoughts from OCD Olanzapine, 5mg - mood stabilization, as tryp said, general brain glue Viibryd, 40mg - depression, helps keep my mood elevated Alprazolam, .5mg - anxiety, as needed med for when shit gets real I just discontinued Topamax as an adjunct mood stabilizer, so it's just the three daily head meds plus the Xanax as needed. Then all my physical meds, which I won't bother everyone with here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parapluie Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Abilify - simply the best for my depression; excellent Abilify 30mg - Psychosis, hypomania, depression. Abilify is really a one-stop shop for me.

Venlafaxine 300mg - For depression Lamictal (titrating up) - for hypomania Propranolol 20mg PRN - For occasional tremors, akathisia during titrations of abilify and anxiety.

CirclesOfConfusion Posted December 19, 2012 All generics right now.Wellbutrin XL (300mg 1x/day) - depression and fatigueRitalin SA (20mg 1xday) - trial dose for suspected ADD inattentive typeAtivan (0.5-1mg PRN) - as needed for acute anxiety, raging irritability, you get the pictureVistaril (25 or 50mg PRN) - pdoc would prefer I transition to this instead of the ativan but it doesn't do anything beneficial while I'm conscious, it just knocks me out cold for 10-15 hours. Not very useful except when the only goal is to force sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
