I was on 12 meds I think about a year ago and I was so miserable and depressed and flat and numb. Now I'm only on 3 psych meds. Wellbutrin geodon and clonopin. I have bp1 and gad and I'm more prone to depression so i feel they are all necessary at this point in my life. Maybe someday I won't need a benzo or an antidepressant but honestly I would rather forgo the geodon and only use it when I'm having an episode because it makes losing weight so ridiculously hard.
