I think Trippin has a good point with the walking drug store statement.

I'm on 7 (8 if you count Cogentin) meds for psych right now. The plan is to get me first on to just one benzo with a PRN dose of the other that I'll rarely take then (now) to a lower Seroquel dose and eventually off my 2 weak mood stabilizers (that do something; we've tried pulling them before and I needed them) so I'll be on a lot less medication eventually. But the 7 meds are working for me. I've gone from miserable and unable to sit still, paranoid that strangers were going to kidnap me and that lightning bugs were monitoring my every move and reporting back to someone, hallucinating and terrified to starting to feel like maybe, just maybe, I'm seeing stable forming. I probably have one more increase of the loxapine but that is probably it and I may make it without that, it depends how I handle the full dose of AD.

My meds also make sense. I was sleeping and was agitated so the meds to calm me down were turned way up. Lots of Seroquel, lots of loxapine which is sedating in a different way. Valium (plus klonopin until tonight). The only stimulating med I take is my AD and it's good because it helps me stay awake but my other meds are calculated to balance out the stimulation.

I just mean that I know and understand why I take each med that I do, and I know there's a plan to get me back to a reasonable number of meds. Your meds more sound like different things are thrown at you like a dart board to see what sticks. Even this wellbutrin; good med for many people but it's another stimulant and you have so many of those. And why not just increase the sertaline further instead of adding another drug?

Your pdoc confuses me. He may be great but he has some weird ways of getting there.
