The things I used to be on:
- in the morning: Sertraline (antidepressant), Welbutrine (antidepressant)
- at lunch: iron supplements
- at dinner: Solian (antipsychotic)
- at night: Clozapine (antipsychotic)
- pnr medication was Seroquel (antipsychotic)
I was good with these meds. Yeah, I was actively suicidal and self harming but my depression and my anxiety got so much more manageable. Now I OD’d again and the doctor decided to complete change all my medication. All of it.
What I’m on now:
- in the morning: Tranxene (benzodiapine), Fluvoxamine (antidepressant)
- at lunch: iron supplements, Tranxene
- at dinner: Solian, Tranxene
- at night: Tranxene, Dosulepin (antidepressant)
- pnr medication is Seroquel or Tranxene
I don’t like it. I don’t want to take benzos. I’ve never ever ever wanted to take them. They’re highly addicting and they make your head all fuzzy. And now I have to take them four times a day. I can’t believe I’m back to taking 9/10 pills a day. Also, I was good on my previous medication! Yeah so I tried to kill myself but who cares, I felt a lot less depressed and my anxiety only popped up like once a week. Now it’s all gone to shit again. I’m tired all the time, my blood pressure is too low, I keep falling over and my head feels like it’s clogged with cotton balls.
Literally the only positive thing about this is that according to the doctor, my huge weight gain came from the Clozapine so hopefully I’m going to be losing some weight. That’s be nice. Really nice.
