When I was first diagnosed I went from one med to six and found it excessive so I figured out what I didn't need. I always research everything I'm on and sometimes just compile all the info into a word document for myself.

I prefer Klonopin to Zanax because one is very addictive for me and the other is not. I had every side effect of Ambien except driving (THANK GOODNESS) which got ridiculous, I really hate that drug I was on it for years. I'm taking Lunesta instead now and it's way better.

Whenever I've taken any ADHD medication it has either increased my anxiety a LOT or triggered some minor manic episode, or both.

I've actually had sudden suicidal ideation as a medication side effect (no more Geodon for me). It does seem like a weird cocktail to me and if you are not comfortable with it that is an important issue.
