100-200mg seroquel
50mg lamictal
1-3mg ativan

I'm still stupid depressed and can't concentrate for shit. If bipolar doesn't ruin my brain I'm sure all these medications will, especially because atypical antipsychotics have 0 research done about long term effects since they're so new. I'm probably making myself retarded and if I wasn't suicidal I'd be fine with that but I still feel like shit so whats the point REEEEEEE

>>39247217
I used to be on 200 mg Zoloft. I'm considering going back on it because I can't cope with shit without it. Any robots have any advice which pills work best?

>>39247376
>I feel your pain anon. I wish I was bold enough to tell my doctor and get on some hormones.
you don't need to tell a doctor shit, estrogen and anti androgen aren't controlled substances (unlike testosterone)

do your research, order online

>>39247346
I know but it was supposed to take like a few weeks or maybe a month to see some effect. The therapists and practically everyone has parrotted that to me. I'm just not seeing any changes after 3 months.

Probably because I refuse to feel better after I've failed to kms before.

>>39247217
>Lithium
>Abilify
>Wellbutrin
>Propranolol
recently changed doses, but I know for my height and weight (5'5'' 108lbs) I'm on the minimum dose of abilify, above the maximum dose of wellbutrin and on a moderate dose of lithium.

I've also been on over a dozen other meds from SSRIs to hormones so if anyone has any questions about psychiatry from a patient's perspective I'm open

>>39247399
Anon you just made my day.

>>39247413
Change your life and take HRT what have you got to lose?

>150mg SNRI
>2oz Whiskey (100 proof)

Haven't felt depression in months. You (((SSRI))) folk are missing out.

Just started claravis (accutane) today. I'm looking forward to being fucked up for the next 6 months, hopefully it'll be worth it.

>>39247394
I've been on almost every SSRI on the market and Welbutrin is by far the best, it's the adderall of the SSRI world. Good sex drive, lots of energy/motivation, no weight gain or hypersomnia. Makes it a little hard to sleep but so worth it.

>>39247449
>Good sex drive
But what do you do with that?

>>39247413
Two questions:

I was considering asking my psychiatrist about Lithium, but have heard there are some pretty bad side-effects. Thoughts?

Also, have you been on any other atypical psychotics? What were your experiences? I've only been on Latuda and Abilify and Latuda made me tired as shit.

>>39247413
What's propranolol like and what should i say to a Dr. if i want to be prescribed it.

>>39247433
I'm a woman and not transsexual. I took hormones to try and kill my sex drive. it failed.

Is morning drowsiness normal on lexapro? I feel like shit every morning till I take my dose. It does wonders for my anxiety though.

>>39247449
Fapping on welbutrin was quite the experience. It made me super dizzy and irritable so I had to get off it though.

>>39247434
I don't drink anymore anon. Though I've been considering trying to get some medicinal marijuana.

>>39247479
Time for you to hop onto the cock corousel then.

>>39247413
Assuming you weren't on Welbutrin to start. How do you find it differs from SSRIs as an anti depressant? On Prozac now, but considering asking to try something different

>>39247449
Can I ask my doctor for a specific medication? Also, is it worth getting the medication even though my mom will treat me like a sad invalid for the next year if I ask to go see a psychiatrist.

>>39247449
So Welbutrin is better than Prozac? I have super low energy so I might have to look into this.

>>39247511
I think it depends where you're from and whether those medication are being made there.

If your mother isn't supportive about trying to get you better, you should probably ignore her anyway.

>>39247494
Meds effect everyone differently. I was on 20mg Lexapro a while ago and didn't have morning drowsiness, but that might just be how that medication effects you.

>>39247413
have you taken lamotrigine/lamictal and if so how does it compare to lithium? I'm still playing medication roulette trying to control all my symptoms and lithium is the only mood stabilizer I haven't yet tried, I've been afraid because it seems intense and I've read you need to get your blood levels checked often which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do since I hate needles.

>>39247551
No, its not that she's not supportive. It's that she'll talk to me in a baby-voice and act like I'm lying to her all the time about not wanting to kill myself.

>>39247554
All the people spouting memes about different drugs fail to understand this.
The only way you'll actually have an idea what kind of effect these things will have on you is if a close family member has been on them.

>>39247474
Lithium makes me pee constantly and may be killing my liver, but so far the blood tests are good. I HIGHLY recommend it as it single-handedly stopped my manic episodes which were ruining my life. Everyone's reaction to it is different and I know I'm very lucky though, so be careful and stay in close contact with your psychiatrist if you do decide to take it.

Abilify is the only antipsychotic I can remember being on. I had a stay at a few psychiatric hospitals and may have been on other antipsychotics then but I don't know.

>>39247478
Propranolol stopped my tremors, period. It's amazing. It also probably helped enormously with the physical symptoms of my anxiety. I've had 0 side effects from it and it's been incredible. Absolutely recommend it.

>>39247505
>implying I'm not bisexual and on the pussy carousel too

>>39247506
SSRIs grossly exacerbated my bipolar disorder. My mania was off the fucking charts while I took SSRIs, vomited constantly, was so nauseous and high on my own shit that I could barely function. When I begged to be taken off SSRIs and the doctor refused I stopped taking them of my own accord, but not before being involuntarily admitted to a psych ward. One of the worst things that's ever happened to me. SSRIs work for a very, very small percentage of people and hurt the rest. Stay away unless you have been diagnosed EXCLUSIVELY with depression, with no doubt in your mind that that is the only thing affecting you, and that the drug has been helping you. Even then, keep an open mind. The sexual, physical and mental side effects are very real.

>>39247511
if you're depressed to the point that you aren't doing any shit with your life I'd say that it's worth it hell your mom might change her tune if they work well and you start to show improvement. also it depends on the doctor but in my experience, especially with antidepressants, most doctors don't have a problem with you requesting things by name. I usually just say I read about a brand/saw it on TV and was wondering if I could try it, I've only ever been turned down once and the psychiatrist explained why he didn't think it was the right thing to try at the time but it was no big deal. It can't hurt I say go for it.

>>39247583
>act like I'm lying to her all the time about not wanting to kill myself
Then, don't lie about it? I've told my parents I don't feel any love for them after being sent to study abroad since secondary school and that I will not live my life for their sake.

>>39247559
I took Lamictal for two years and it worked wonders. For some reason, after those two years, it stopped working completely and I was fucked because I had a bad psychiatrist that thought I was suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder and depression, not bipolar disorder type 1 and OCD.

Lamictal is a good medicine from my experience, and I recommend it. You really do need to get your blood checked regularly with lithium, and if you hate needles you'll grow to tolerate them when you know that your kidney and thyroid function is dependent on those tests. Honestly, it's only a prick for a few seconds for half a year of relief and peace of mind.

>>39247614
>I've told my parents I don't feel any love for them after being sent to study abroad since secondary school

Shit, that's pretty badass, actually. However, I don't blame my mom for me being the way I am (though coming from a single parent household certainly didn't help my development, I'm sure). I just want to get drugs without her knowing.

>>39247728
Don't think so, they will definitely contact your parents.

>>39247634
thanks for the reply, this helps a lot! I'm currently taking lamictal and so far it's been ok but I still find myself having really intense depressive episodes and my doctor has talked about trying lithium next. I'm diagnosed with bipolar NOS, I don't think I've ever had a manic episode so its mostly just been trying to get rid of the depression episodes. Getting blood checked only twice a year is not so bad, for some reason I was under the assumption it was every couple of weeks or something.

It sucks ass when psychiatrists try to suddenly change their opinion on your diagnosis especially if you were stable before them fucking about.

>>39247379
Fuck these people, and fuck normans

No they won't. You can tell them to keep everything confidential and they are legally (and ethically) obligated.

>>39247805

Unless you give them consent to disclose/obtain information everything will stay confidential. Don't listen to this anon.

>I grew up in a middle-class household with every basic need met from parents that never demanded anything terrible from me. I was not terribly abused and may have been beaten or scolded a few times but on the whole I have a solid development. The lack of initiative from the people around me has led me to developed no initiative of my own, and so I pass day to day in relative comfort. The absence of actual meaning, accomplishment or progress in my life has led me to feel that I am depressed. I must be suffering from a very serious mental disorder because my life is unchallenged and unfulfilling

>>39247836
>>39247861
I suppose you're right, but I'm sure they will be very persistent about asking you to talk to your family about it.

Perhaps, but without consent they are required to keep it strictly confidential.

>>39247217

April: diazepam 10mg/day
May-June: clonazepam 2.5mg/day and risperidone (anti psychotic) 0.25mg

Currently nothing but I wish to try SSRI and/or come back to clonazepam but on lower doses, that stupid ass dose was too much for me, I'm not that anxious at all and 0.5mg normally is enough to fall asleep at night. I hate that stupid crazy bitch that prescribed me sch a high dosage

>>39247806
I have bipolar type 1 and very, very intense manic episodes so lithium was mandatory for me. Your psychiatrist may have another option, but first and foremost lithium is a mood stabilizer. If you have serious depression lithium may be the answer. For the first year you will need blood tests every few months, but after that it's once a year or twice a year if your psychiatrist is paranoid (like mine).

>>39247682
>without her knowing
Are you parents your guardians?
Does your school require written authorization to be given to your parents for any of your medical needs?
Did you ever sign a waiver to disclose your medical history to your parents?

If any of these questions can be answered with a "yes" you're probably fine.

It's like when you have a very bad nightmare. You can observe what's happening but you have absolutely no control over what's happening or what you remember. You recognize for a brief moment that something's going on that's ruining your life or someone else's life and you're fighting with every fucking fibre of your being to stop it, but there's nothing you can do, it's happened, it's over. You eventually calm down, you can control yourself, but you can't sleep. You can't eat. You can't drink. You can't do anything but rehash it over and over again and go into a state of horrific depression as you crash and burn and want to fucking die.

Full schizo is nothing but delusions and hallucinations all the damn time unless if you're on meds.

If the doctor's a dick and won't up your dose, find someone else, show them the previous script and say you had to leave him for XYZ, they're more likely to give you more benzos.
Repeat if necessary.
Just be careful. Apparently they're horribly addicting. I'm in my first month of a script and already am going to run out early. Let's hope I don't get withdrawals :^)

Sorry, but that doctor is literally a retard and should have his medical licence revoked. Try someone new. Keep trying. It is YOUR body, YOU are taking the medication, not the other way around. You have the final say in this. If someone won't help you, find someone who will (sorry that you have to, though).

holy fucking shit man. You can't sleep for days even while on benzos? Try other benzos. Clonazepam usually is effective to sleep but as always, you have to find which one works for you, as psych meds dont have the same concrete effects on everyone at all. Also combine it with other sleep aids, like hypnotics. I tried prometazine (25mg if i remember right) combined with melatonin (3mg) and risperidone (0.25). If it doesn't put you to sleep increase the dosage and if you still cant sleep then you're ready to die.
I only did it for a few days because my insomnia was tough, I had a lot of trouble to sleep despite sleeping only a few hours per night. But it seems your situation is much worse than mine.
