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.

What do you use weed to treat? I did indicate nothing for recreational purposes.

Yeah, my cardiologist recommends a daily aspirin, although he told me to take a full regular aspirin (375mgs) instead of a baby aspirin

I was prescribed Zoloft but I just take it whenever I feel like it (meaning like skipping weeks at a time)

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)

No problem. If this thread included all the drugs people take here, well, let's just say it might get out of hand.

I take zoloft as well. Its probably a bad idea to take it so irradically.
