Upped Abilify to 5mg. Made me extremely anxious. Come off of Abilify. Go on Zyprexa. Go on Effexor again. Zyprexa makes me gain a lot of weight and exacerbates depression. Go to hospital again. Switch from Zyprexa to Geodon. Geodon feels okay. Get home. Somehow gets sent involuntarily to a psychward. Gets put on so many medications that I don't even want to recall. Comes home from hospital. Only stays on Wellbutrin and Remeron. No psychosis. No mania. Odd? And now I'm planning on stopping Wellbutrin.
I decided to share my story with you, because I, too, wish I would have never taken an antidepressant. I would have had a better year if my doctor never prescribed me one to begin with.
