What medications have you been on?

[alienshe_cheesycake]

Past; fluoxetine/prozac- first AD was crap gave me nightmares
venlafaxine/effexor-second AD gave me insomnia and worse nightmares
diazepam/valium- off my new pych to help calm me down when I was experiencing pychosis
lorazepam/ativan- in hospital got given this (and injected with this) to calm me down when I was freaking out
Zopiclone- to help me sleep when I was freaking out too

Now; Mirtazapine/Zispin - a good AD, the only one thats actually worked for me , helps me sleep too, put on a lot of weight on it though
Olanzapine/Zyprexa- An Anti-pychotic, has worked for me but only on a high dosage (17.5mg ) still experiencing pychosis on this though
Procycladine- for the side effects of the Olanzapine (shakes)

yeah, thats all for me

i'm currently on chlompramine, quitiapine, escitalopram, and occasional zopiclone. this seems like a pretty effective combination, though i might like to reduce the dose of the quitiapine , if only so i can increase it again if things start going badly.
i also have one valium for an emergency that i saved from ages ago.
