Advice on my cocktail please!

[Guest MexicoGringo]

Hi all. I am new here.. been looking around for a while but thought I would post. I have been Diagnosed since age 16 (I am now 31) with ADD, Depression, Anxiety, now recently I was also Diagnosed with Narcissistic personality Disorder, and PTSD. anyway, this is the Cocktail I am on now , lets see what you all think of it.

Morning:

72 mg CONCERTA

40 mg PROZAC

10 mg BUSPAR

450 mg WELLBUTRIN XL

NIGHT

10 mg BUSPAR

50 mg TRAZADONE

I have tried many things and recently we have been chningin stuf right and left, but for some reason I feel this may be a good combo, BUT in the back of my head I think there are too many AD drugs in it.. Whats you all thoughts..

THANKS

If it's working, don't break it.

Wellbutrin with an SSRI is not unusual. Traz for sleep isn't, either. All together, still in the realm of good stuff if it working for you.

If it is fixed, do no break it.

well the thing is, I cant really tell.. I just switched from Ritalin and provigil, to just concerta because I got no energy... (I think that combo doesn't work) and I just went from Tenex to Buspar, this was just a few days ago. I have been on the Wellbutrin XL, Prozac, and Trazadone for a while (Months) and my depression and anxiety doesn't seem to be improved.. so I am hoping it was the stimulant combo or maybe the tenex... ???any ideas?? THANKS

I am wondering also if my prozac is low.. BUT my Wellbutrin is the max... ??

If you've been on ADHD meds for quite a while, they aren't so likely to give you an energy lift since you are already used to what they do.

Buspar is new. It'll take a little time to give it a good trial, that includes you current dose and perhaps any adjustment your pdoc wants to make.

Prozac goes a little higher but if it's not doing it for you at 40mg, it might be time to talk over a change with your pdoc. Of course, that depends on what it's done for you so far, and on what other ADs you have already tried. I'm not a whiz at what ADs do, so someone else might have better suggestions here.

well I was on Ritalin over 10 years ago and it worked, and I just started taking it 2 months ago but the sr form and I hated it so I now take concerta.. It seems to be working better than the Ritalin SR, but I am not sure its enough. Yes I plan on waiting for the Buspar to kick in as everywhere I read says it takes 3 to 4 weeksto really start to kick in... maybe once it kicks in it may help my depression also??
