Ask me anything about psychiatric meds! Between having tried so many and just being interested in them and having done a ton of research, I can almost guarantee if you name a psych med I can give you its generic and brand name, what class it falls under, what it treats, etc. Or feel free to ask about my experience with ones I’ve been on. For the record I’ve been diagnosed with OCD, PTSD, ADHD, Bipolar 2, depression, and anxiety. I’ve tried lexapro, prozac, zoloft, wellbutrin, trazodone, pristiq, clomipramine, luvox, strattera, trileptal, and am currently on seroquel, depakote, and buspirone with adderall and hydroxyzine as needed. Or if you give me a category of meds I can list all that I know that fall under it lmao

Have you ever tried natural remedies?
Do you journal or try the talking cure?
Have you ever looked into energy work?
I’ve been on a lot of different meds too.
Wellbutrin basically destroyed all of my mental health progress. I had an incredible health care provider who recognized my adhd & set me up with low dose meds. When she retired, my new provider gave me all new prescriptions. It broke me. Have you ever experienced a medication that made you feel worse?
I am about to attempt my 3rd medication this coming Monday as the other two didn’t work. My last one fluoxetine, made me increasingly angry and suicidal. I was on sertraline for 9 years before that, which stopped working. I have BPD, Autism, OCD, CPTSD, depression, anxiety.
Do you think you have found the right combination that works for you or are you still missing something?
and
Do you have any tips for how to cope between medication changes because I currently am taking nothing and it’s really difficult.
Have you ever played any of the following bingo games? 🙂
