News of Medication

I'm not on a lot of medication, mainly because I don't want to be on a lot, I'd be on none if I could.
I'm currently taking buspirone 10mg tabs 3 times a day, risperidone 2mg tab once at night, celexa
40mg tab once in the morning. Do any of you have any advice on better medications I can ask my
doctor about, none of them work 100%. I hate taking any of the medicine ...

Hello, I'd like some advice. I wasn't sure where to post this so I posted it here. Please feel free to move it.

I need some friendly advice. I was prescribed Venlafaxine for ADHD so now I'm thinking I get off it. Last time I got off it I started feeling a lot weaker and a bit frightened as I kinda lost some of the confidence it gave me. Right now I wanna get off ...

Hello. I am taking 200 mg of Zoloft for depression and 1.5 mg of Klonopin (as needed) and 40 mg of Propranolol (as needed) for panic attacks/anxiety. I only take the Klonopin about 3-4 times a month, and so I definitely know that I have not built a tolerance to it.

My problem is that lately I've been having obsessive thoughts. When something bothers me, I've been obsessing over it. This has been going on ...

Hi there.

First time on this specific board, so here goes.

I've been struck by a MASSIVE depression with a topping of anxiety. Only reason I'm not put on a ward is because I'm not suicidal. My world has no handles and doing the simplest of things can be a whole day if not several days adventure.

I'm generally opposed to the idea of "fake happiness" via anti-depression medication and calming medicine to handle my ...

I have been on drug cocktails pretty much my whole life but i was just taken off a combo of xanax, geodon, concerta and effexor. They stopped it all cold turkey because i am now pregnant and a few months ago i was tapered off of risperdal. The only withdrawal symptom i seem to be having is at times it feels like bugs are crawling in my skin, not all over and it comes and ...

I've been wondering this for a while now. Could someone explain it to me? I've always liked that brand name medications better then the generics. But could someone explain the main differences?

I have 2-3 cups of coffee per day. I have come off zoloft + risperidone about 3 weeks ago and I switched straight over to 20mg prozac, I have had a bit of insomnia but no anxiety.

Tonight I had my 2nd cup of coffee and I have a lot of anxiety, I had to take 30mg codeine to calm myself.

I thought the stimulatory effects of prozac are meant to get better not worse.... ...

I have been on Vyvanse for about a month now. It works great but I do feel different. It's not terrible, but every single morning I wake up feeling tired now. It's just a general tiredness, and my eyes feel sore and dry (which they have a tendency of being anyways). Before I was on the medication, I didn't ALWAYS wake up tired, but now I do. I also get more frequent morning anxiety now. ...

I get pretty severe migraines from Bruxism (teeth grinding) and poor stress management, and I take Bayer Migraine for them as well as wearing a night guard when I sleep.

Recently, however, I've been told by my doctor that I now have Pre-Diabetes and that my liver function is very high. Since the migraines still happen, I keep a regular supply of Bayer Migraine, which actually works and helps my migraines. The problem is it ...

A little back story.

I self harmed from a very young age. Eventually my mum found out, and took me to my doctor. Back then I had known him since birth, so he was very understanding and so sent me straight to the Child and Adolescent mental health team (I live in the UK). There I had a 2 hour assessment where I was told because of my age I could only be diagnosed with ...
