What medications do you take?

I'm just curious to see what kind of medications you guys take. Do not include anything taken for recreational reasons, even if it is prescribed.
I take
Cymbalta 60mg 1x Daily Remeron 15mg 1x Nightly Topamax 25mg 1x Nightly Gabapentin 800mg 3x Daily
These are all psychiatric medications. The first two are for "depression", but really I just take them because I have taken them for many years and cannot stop without going into serious withdrawal. The Topomax helps prevent cravings for drugs, and the Gabapentin I just take because I like it and I can. I hope to completely wean off of these medications by the time I am 30 (I am now 24) so that I can have a healthier liver. I have been taking antidepressants since I was 15.
What do you take? Do you plan to keep taking it?

Be aware that tolerance builds quickly. Try not to take it every day if you can avoid it. When I first started taking it, 300mg affected me a lot. Now, since I take 2400mg daily, I would have to take about six grams in order to obtain a "noticeable" effect. It definitely calms me down though. I notice when I don't take it.

Yep, it's a pretty common side effect. And at my age, it's hard to get rid of those excess lbs too.

I gained almost 30lbs in the six months I took it, and lost those 30lbs in about two months after cessation. I was 19, though.

I don't really see it that way. I see taking a Xanax like that, or drinking even. But not smoking pot. But that's just my experience. If I didn't smoke every day I may say that.

You really take two antidepressants? I thought that would lead to serotonin syndrome.
Risperdal Consta 50mg IM fortnightly (antipsychotic) Zoloft 25mg (antidepressant, coming off, it doesn't do anything) Tranalpha (high blood pressure)

Nothing.

ive taking it regularly before for months, but now i know what it does and i don't really feel like taking it, i think it kind of lowers my motivation to do some things a little, but the good side of zoloft is when you yawn or something, or after a nap it feels really good under your blanket.

Zoloft is a short acting antidepressant so taking it irregularly will have noticeable effects.

No I agree, I was just sayin'
I may have to go to a psychiatrist soon. Do you find that they are conservative with giving scripts out?

No. Definitely not with unscheduled drugs. Just don't act like a recreational drug user. Most psychiatrists want to give you meds because that keeps you coming back for more visits.

I have most of the signs for anxiety; I've tried not to go to medication just cause I hear a lot about dependence/addiction, but sometimes I really just need some long release benzos to take the edge off of social reactions.

I forgot about marijuana, I usually just use it to get "high", but I occasionally use it as a medicine for stuff like insomnia relief, anxiety/stress releif, etc... and idk if you consider this as medicinal use per say but I use it to make me feel my emotions, normally my emotions are very dulled.

Psychedelics/MDMA to treat boredom/depression
Alcohol/benzos for anxiety.
Nothing daily though, although alcohol and weed can come close 
I honestly consider these to serve a similar purpose to traditional medications.
I have a Zoloft script but I'd rather trip/roll on occasion and use mindfulness and CBT so I've never filled it. And I've improved significantly since I was scripted it

My answer,
FINALLY on no medications. Although I have been taking my old prescription of Clonidine to help cope with my Suboxone withdrawals, but I don't plan on taking it after the withdrawals stop. Took my last Suboxone from my prescription 11 days ago.

Keep it up dude, I saw you thread and you've been on a tough road. Clonidine is commonly taken during opiate withdrawal and it can help, so do it if it helps. It's way better than taking dope.
