notachance Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hello to everyone - well to everyone who reads this anyway. Basically I am here to read about different peoples reactions to meds as I am sorta new to taking crazy pills. I am kind of anal about reading about anything I take before I take it. Thats just me. I can remember when my psych gave me samples of Seroquel and when I got home I then proceeded to research the internet. I promptly called doc and said "no way AM I going to take these." I was then put on clonazepam. My current diagnosis is "unspecified mood disorder" as well as "primary insomnia." I am currently taking clonazepam, temazepam, carbamazepine. Prior I have taken Prozac, Lexapro, paroxetine, zoloft, triazolam, saphris and seroquel, ambien. Seroquel wasn't bad actually, it really helped me sleep thats for sure but I couldn't deal with the weight gain. Saphris caused severe akathisia which was completely counterproductive to sleeping. Taking Saphris was almost like instant misery in a pill form. I feel like I gave it a fair shot though I took it about 12 times, now I am mad because these were expensive as all he!! and I have most of them left over. Right now doc and me are hoping the carbamazepine will help to stabilize my mood and relieve the insomnia, too. That's my story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
