Prozac was the worst for me. Made me hate everyone in the world. Klonopin for coming off them. Nightmare doesn't half explain it. ..

3200 mg of Depakote was a ton but it only kept my blood level at 100-125 and I didn't do well unless I was at 125-130. I hated it but it did keep me going until other meds came out that helped.
I'm always at either a really high dose or a really lose dose of everything. I either process everything way too fast or not fast enough. Currently I'm on a ton of Seroquel because it doesn't do much at low doses, working my way very slowly up on loxapine (another AP), a middle dose of my AD, and tiny doses of gabapentin and topirimate which I'm really sensitive to. Weird biology. Treatment resistant. Oh and Prozac sucked pretty badly too.....

Zyprexa...I feel like there is entire years of my life lost to that drug. I was an emotionless walking zombie.

loophole - I'm sure I'm going to hate clonazepam more than anything when I have to start weaning off it in a week too.
I already hate alprazolam. Not as much as seroquel though. lol

Definitely lithium... I had zero emotions and could not function.
Abilify is working well, although I must say, not enough maybe? |

Hey Rasp, I don't know if I told you before but I tried to get off klonopin twice. Succeeded once. The first time the Pdoc was like oh sure it won't be a problem you're on a small dose but I still didn't believe him so I tapered over a week. Not cool. I had anxiety spikes, depression, and heart palpitations. This ****er actually told me that this stuff was "all in my head" and that it could not be the klonopin withdrawal. I told him that I was quite certain that the heart palpitations were in fact in my heart. Needless to say he was one of the Pdocs I fired. But anyway I then tapered on my own suuuuuuper slow. Like over a month and a half until I was literally licking the dust off of the splitter. I had no problem that time. |

I'm assuming the new pdoc has a feasible taper plan in mind. If she wants everyone off of them, I'm assuming she knows how to taper people correctly (hopefully).

Lithium, kidneys shut down, ended up on dialysis in the ICU for a week. Had a seizure, couldn't walk, was shaking throwing up, incontinence. Yeah, never again. My levels were at 4.6

Tegertol, and depokote. The depokote was the worse, I was so ill I had to be medically supervised.
