2mg perphenazine BID
50mg pristiq
20mg adderall bid or tid
1mg xanax to sleep
between 600mg and 1500mg gabapentin as needed for anxiety during the day.i'm beginning to wonder if the pristiq ever really worked or if the augmentation of zyprexa made me think it worked, or it was just the zyprexa that worked.
i had to go up to 10mg zyprexa and i put on about 25lbs. so i went off.
now finally after 2 months i'm back down to what i was at christmas.i texted pdoc and told him my mood was still slipping and id let him know when it got bad.
we talked on friday and he agreed that the low was from coming off the anxiety (3-4 week) extreme.
but i know this state. it is depression creeping in. regardless of what got me here...i'm here.
but i am so fricking sick and tired of switching meds. i just want to stop. stop it all and let myself crawl in a hole and stare at the dirt. maybe just close my eyes and be done. (not dead...just done).b2c.
> I don't know what your med regimen is right now, but it's always a tough call between staying the course vs changing meds that once worked. If your current meds have never worked, then there's no reason to stick with them (unless you have not given them at least a few weeks). I'm finding that meds that once pooped out may deserve a second chance after you've been off them for a while. So if you have had any past successes, you may want to give them another look.
