Seroquel: was a wonder drug for me for about a year, it helped with mania and made me sleepy. Now I cannot take it due to restless leg syndrome.
Klonopin: worked really well for a year or two with my anxiety, then I flat-lined and it really does not do much for me any more. I am off of it finally after 7 years and I think my memory is getting better, the rebound anxiety suck though. I hope that it goes away soon.
Lithium: This seems to be working well for me as an inhibitor for mania, it does not do much in the way of making me sleepy though.
Suboxone: I hate this crap, I take it due to a recent relapse with opiate addiction, and yes it reduces the cravings and all. It gives me the worst headaches though, looking to get onto a different medication.
Buspar: My replacement anxiety med, this is like a sugar pill for me. I feel nothing from it, and I am still anxious a lot of the time.
I could list many many more that I have been on, but those are the ones that stand out the most for me.
