Lauren Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just realised that I take 10 a day. Kinda scary to think of all those chemicals floating around. But hey it works for the most part. For me they consist of: 4 x 2mgs diazepam 2x10mg cipralex 1x15mgs zispin 1x contraceptive 1x 10 mg risperdol 1x essential omega oils capsules (they really do seem to work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lille_eskimit Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm supposed to be only on two...but sometimes I take more than I should... Setraline, once during the day, and it's 50mg. Quetiapine, once at night, but it's a whopping 200mg. Just started on those recently, so that might still change... Supposed to be taking anti-spasmodics, but can't be arsed no more 'cos they don't work... Other health supplements: Peppermint/Fennel capsules, whenever I need Multi-vitamins, multi-minerals + evening primrose oil and other nutrients, all in one capsule Zinc, one, 15mg Acacia Fibre powder + probiotics Soy Protein powder Yeah, yeah, I'm a hypochondriac too! I've been known to nick David's Rivotril and if I can't find those, I take Actifed to knock myself out. I've ODed so often that my kidneys are now not functioning as they should...I had to be hospitalised last year because they got infected...I know I shouldn't take so many pills, but have come to rely on them so much.

Wisdom Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 6 months ago I was on 1200mgs total per day of Seroquel. Yes, 1200mgs of Seroquel! This was supposed to slow the degree of my mania down. It did nothing...........the doc's wanted to increase it to 1500mgs per day. I never allowed for that to happen.instead I reduced the 1200mgs'day to 50mgs at night. I don't recommend anyone else doing this. I haven't done well since reducing my dose........ Thats why I'm on the Lithium now. but heres my list...............total mgs/day Wellbutrin 450mg/day ---------- antidepressant Lamictal 300mg/day ---------- mood stabilizer Serax 30mg/day ----------- (benzo) for anxiety Seroquel 50mg/night ---------- (taken to not piss dr's off) anti psychotic Lithium 300mg/day ------------ mood stabilizer . (just started Lithium last Friday) A total of 5 medications per day I am excluding my arthritis pain med thats prescribed by my ortho dr. I was just taken off the past 2 months: Effexor 450mg/day Cymbalta 30mg/day Wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraaken Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 It's interesting to find out what people are taking, thank you I used to take antidepressants, for about 10 years, but I was only diagnosed with BPD recently and the Prozac I was on at the time was stopped. I now take: Quetiapine (Seroquel) 150mg twice daily Sodium Valproate 200mg twice daily Zopiclone 15mg at bedtime Disulfiram (Antabuse) 200mg daily also: E-EPA purified fish oil 3g daily Co-codamol 30/500 usually two tablets daily and at random/when needed: Vitamin C 200mg, vitamin B complex, Agnus Castus (herbal), 5-HTP, L-Glutamine, Kalms tablets (herbal), Natracalm tablets (herbal), diphenydramine (Nytol), potassium citrate mixture (for cystitis), occasionally a Pharmaton capsule (multivitamins & minerals + ginseng), Ibuprofen, Nicorette gum (tried inhalator, nasal spray and patches too) ...er I think I've been on most of the antidepressants over the years: fluoxetine, citalopram, venlafaxine, reboxetine, lofepramine, mirtazapine; not MAOIs though I used to get chlorpromazine and diazepam but not anymore. I believe the fish oil definitely works too. Bye for now K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraaken Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi Daisy I was just wondering if your blood levels of Lithium are stabilized, because the laxatives could interact with the Lithium Take care K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has that been for you? I've just started Lithium and there's been talk about increasing it...........I'd be interested in hearing your experiences with side effects...... Thanks Wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMacbeth Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Just Valerian right now but it lost its effect! Think my body grew immune to it. Ask me in a few weeks I think that I must relinquish myself to these drugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
