Naw, Zyprexa is an anti-psychotic too.

Nothing.
I sometimes take aspirin if I have a really bad headache and I can't get rid of it for a long time.

Risperdal Consta 50mg IM fortnightly (antipsychotic) Zoloft 25mg (antidepressant, coming off, it doesn't do anything) Tranalpha (high blood pressure)
I take two and no it does not lead to serotonin syndrome. What would make you think you that?

Yeah, my cardiologist recommends a daily aspirin, although he told me to take a full regular aspirin (375mgs) instead of a baby aspirin
I'm only on anticoagulants so there's less of a chance of a clot forming on the mechanical valve. I'm coming up on one full year post surgery this January so we will see how things are holding up :nervous:

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

Again, I don't think these count as medications unless you can argue that you take them to treat something.

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

Interesting, I know someone who is on topiramate for epilepsy. Much higher dose though.
Personally I am not on any medications.

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.
