Vyanese (helps me perform at work where as i'd normally just cry at my desk)
Lunesta to sleep as needed (which is every night lately)

Please don't judge. People always tell me i'm on too much but there was a time that I stopped, not cold turkey, but it didnt turn out well.
I Hear that a lot too Ballooninthewind. some people don't understand or have strong views on taking meds. I myself am grateful every day for modern science. My family thinks the drugs are making me bipolar etc. If they could only walk in our shoes!
