At this point I think it would be wise to consider a med overhaul and do a damn detox. This is a wonderful idea and it is actually one I advocated in the past. However, my pdoc wasn't quite as thrilled with the idea as me. I dropped it, listening to him.


Its not like they're working if moving off the couch makes you feel suicidal, so really. What's the point of taking them and rejecting the idea of a med overhaul? I suppose there isn't one. My pdoc says I'm not overmedicated. He says he's "seen people he has overmedicated and I am not one of them." I think he thinks that only because before I have an appointment, I shower, fix my hair just right, put on makeup, nice clothes and jewelry. Typically, I am in pjs and am lucky to shower every three days. I am a grease ball most of the time (even when not depressed and this is contrary to who I was before I became sick). Also, I am not a "walking zombie," but I am a complete idiot who cannot open my mouth and make sense and who has wrecked my car three times in the last couple of months (and that doesn't include hitting our garbage can last week)


You are on so many meds its possibly exacerbating your symptoms. Yes, that's a thing, where ADs can make you suicidal and APs can make you hallucinate.

Since you're on so many, you have NO way of knowing if meds are a contributing factor to you being down the crapper. Yes. I am in fact nearly throughly convinced that my new psychotic symptoms are either caused by or exasperated by the Vyvanse Why else would they begin when they began?


I know you love your pdoc (a bit too much because you listen to him blindly) but really, ask him if he would be comfortable taking all your meds and watch how he obviously pulls a face.


Some people probably need to be a walking drug store, but since that's clearly not working for you, I strongly suggest you talk med overhaul. The soonest I can get a second opinion is Sept and I intend to do so then. I can't do what you did and just flush them because I take so many (and because my husband will have a cow). I feel overwhelmed.


Thank you Trippin
