What do you guys think about this mix of drugs?
    #22063529 - 08/08/15 04:40 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

These are the list of drugs currently prescribed to me to take each day
Tegretol 600mg er 1x in the morning & 200 mg X1 at night
Anafranil 50mg x2 a day
Klonipin 1mg x2 a day
Clonidine Hcl .25 mg at night
Lyrica 50mg x2 a day

I think it seems rather like a very sedative mixture. My pharmacy says the lady who prescribes my meds has a reputation of being cooky. Everything is prescribed by her besides the lyrics wich is prescribed by my gp doctor.

Yeah I don't like the clonidine it makes me dizzy and lightheaded when I stand up or even just move my head around too fast I told my doc that and she just cut it in half. I think I'm going to ask her to change it next time I go she listens to me most of the time I used to take ambien for sleep it's much better but I've also tried trazadone and seroquel for sleep

maan I think clonidine is the best medicine for sleep. It works like a charm and its non habit-forming.

IME
clonidine is very lame. Didn't help me sleep and made me near blackout when standing.

Coming from someone who has tried a slew of them you would be best to get off the pharms.

If you keep trying them eventually you'll find one your body has a shitty reaction to.

There's a good chance if you take all that you'll get fat.

Only drug I would want from the pharmacy is morphine.

That truly helps with sleep.

I try to stay away from meds as much as I can. At least outside of recreational use.

Spent most of my childhood hopped up on some mix of medications. None ever really seemed to fix anything they were supposed to, I just got a bunch of shitty side effects and one of them was permanent. Don't remember the drug (was over 15 years ago) but I have muscle spasms now. Was told before ever taking it that they were a possible long term side effect although remote. Well I hit the jackpot. They're not all the time, but I get them pretty regularly. Episodes last anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour and vary in intensity.

Already have insomnia, I find it practically impossible to sleep through an episode of spasms, as if I needed another thing taking away my sleep.


--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

I'm bipolar with ptsd and adhd, on a cocktail of meds that has me feeling much much better. I also have an autoimmune disease that I only recently found out about, so that most definitely contributed to feeling like crap. I think that combination of drugs you're on is pretty crazy, but different things work for different people. I know it would de-stabilize me and make me want to sleep for days and days.

Right now I'm on:
Lamotrigine
Welbutrin
Levothyroxine
Trazodone(as needed)
adderall(taken pretty irregularly)

I have issues with organizing it all, especially because one has to be taken four hours after I eat anything with only water and I can't eat for another 90 minutes, so sometimes I have to set an alarm for like 2am and take it.
I also have walgreens do auto-refills, and occasionally I don't even remember wtf they're refilling and end up with multiple bottles because I haven't finished it all.

The most important thing to ask yourself is how you feel and how long you've been seeing this psychiatrist, because if it hasn't been a long time and she put you on all this shit after a month or two, I'd probably consider that a red flag.

My psychiatrist added meds little by little, I spent a few months on the lamotrigine alone because she wanted my moods to stabilize first and it takes a while to work up to treatment dosage safely. I love it because it has very very few side affects but it keeps manic episodes at bay, and I was really having issues with not sleeping for days and having crippling panic attacks and anxiety and racing thoughts, as well as the beginnings of psychosis and then crashing into a crippling episode of depression.

That and the levothyroxine(immune disease) are the two I absolutely cannot give up, and they have 0 bad side-effects for me, so I don't ever think about giving them up.

Clonidine is the best for sleeping. I stand by that.

I get the small ones.. I think theyre like .1mg or something...

anyways, I take 2 or 3 and an hour later im passed out. Wake up the next day with no hangover and feel great. Its been a damn-near miracle drug for me.

I agree

The only major drugs I use on a daily basis are weed nicotine and caffeine

I can understand if you're chemically imbalanced and need these pharma drugs to feel normal but I don't consider it a solution as much as I consider it a crutch

These drugs aren't helping you solve your mental problems they're just helping you cope with them

Ok well I'm not taking any of these regularly to be honest I'm just really getting them for the k pins but I was considering taking the anafranil because my OCD  has been really bothering me lately. I do see a therapist on a regular basis once a week wich is helping on its own I just kinda took the fact that she said she had a friend who prescribed meds that took my insurance to my advantage to get k pins it's notvery hard when you have my history I guess.

I've been taking meds from the ages 4-18 on and off and seeing lots of different therapists I got off meds at 18 when I legally could but as of recently decided to at least go back to therapy to try and handle some of my issues I'm going through a lot of new symptoms from the complex ptsd (basically a more severe form of ptsd) I've beenexperienceing hallucinations in my peripheral vision and also hearing loud ringing and static like the tv in my ears. Which concerns me Im always afraid I'm going to get schizophrenia my doctors don't seem to concerned about it though.

I been doing this whole therapists meds and hospitals thing for a while but I find myself getting worse these days because I've "opened Pandora's box" so to say when it comes to my therapy right now. I'm facing a lot of things or at least trying to and dealing with lots of bad feelings that I just want to numb away. Sometimes I have no control over my emotions and all just have a panick attack out of nowhere or start crying for no reason stuff like that. It's like an intense slideshow of emotions all the time and I can't barely sleep anymore either and its wearing on me. My weed use is up there as of late too as well as other drugs whatever makes it go away

Sounds like you're having a hard time even distinguishing between the negative effects of your meds and your mental problems themselves

I'm not a doctor and I don't claim to be one but somehow I doubt a cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs ever did anybody any good but medical professionals love pushing that shit on people who don't actually need it

I wish I could be more helpful but honestly it's gonna take a lot more than people's input on an internet forum to help you solve your problems

Trazadone makes my body fall asleep but not my head, so the only thing I can do is force myself to fall asleep. Mind as well meditate yourself to sleep. Or ^^ try some kratom. Certain species have worked GREAT to help me sleep and has given me very eye opening dreams.

That's great, congratulations :rolleyes::stonedjerk:

Unfortunately, all our brains differ, and if I'm not on a carefully balanced medication routine I get manic and psychosis kicks in. It's hard to differentiate what is the bipolar and what is ptsd in that instance, because there are very specific triggers that usually send me into that psychosis and I start panicking.

I consider that as much of health problem as I do my autoimmune disease, which is potentially deadly/capable of sending you into a coma if left untreated long enough. It fucks up my life if I'm not medicated with that, a mood stabilizer(bipolar) and an antidepressant that's not an ssri(ptsd is treated with anti-depressants).

It's great that you live with the fallacy of assuming everyone is just like you, and that it's okay to stigmatize mental illness that legitimately fucks up someone's life, and could potentially make them suicidal. Personally though, I'm really fucking sick of people who haven't  gone through anything like the shit I have telling me to go off my meds. It's dangerous, patronizing, and frankly an uneducated intrusion into someone else's life - not saying you are, but I'm fucking sick of this attitude.

Also, coping skills are a major step towards recovery/remission, learning to cope ultimately leads(ideally) to learning how to live with better habits, and patterns, and learning how to shut down any potential triggers or red flags. The first and foremost thing you have to do if you want to get better, is learn how to cope - this is the basic thing that cognitive behavioral therapy starts with, which in and of itself does not include meds. Some people need tools to dig themselves out of a hole that's shut down their ability to function, and ideally it'll work in a symbiotic way with the CBT.
