I can't stress enough the number of years trying different medications.

I function better hypo during the entire day, but I need something to switch off before bedtime.

I was taking a prescription for pain and apart from insomnia, I was depression free which was a hugely beneficial side-effect. Most times

I'm about to go back to a slow death, but not without giving my opinion and what I've tried. And ofcause conferring your advice and input.

In no particular order, but each was exhausted for up-to one year. For the current medication.

Mirtazapine, Tramadol, Zyprexa, Zoloft and others not mentioning.

I just need to be clear during the day, but droopy at night.

I've been getting by with weed at night and oxycodone during the day.

But now I'm deciding to start weed again because my frequency of depression has gotten worse since the suspension of oxycodone (prescribe).

I'm so...well I almost forgot what drinking did to my health and if I wasn't for my last (break instead of last one.

Valium cut in half. I would have had to smoke weed. But...ikd

2ISAB, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you want to hear anymore. You've received a lot of caring advice on this forum, but you keep posting about the same issues.

From your posts I understand that you are addicted to opiates. Fine, that's your business. I wonder if you know, however, that opiates are depressants? It is also very possible that it is withdrawal from the oxy that is causing your depression. Do you recognize that?

Even Valium, while it can help with anxiety, is a depressant.

As I understand it, you're not drinking alcohol anymore, yet you are using drugs that have the same or a very similar effect as alcohol. All depressants. Your moods must be flying in every direction at once, considering the substances you are putting into your body.

I would stop the weed until things settle. Have both of your drs. talk to each other. You may need a higher AD during the day and something at night. Do you have a therapist? It's really really hard to get stable when you have several issues and more dr's who all have their own opinion.

Paxil. True game changer for me. Three years running away from SSRIs and three years totally lost.
I was living in 2014 until the end of the year 2017.

I'm back. I'm back in full force. The hyper kid is back in town.

What 21SAB keeps posting is he can’t get any more prescriptions for mental health because his docs are concerned about the condition of his liver.

I don’t understand his post here, but I don’t think he’s asking for med advice.

I think his options are to self medicate, essentially.

I’m not clear, really, what you’re asking?

You’d like to be hypo during the day but drowsy at night?

Considering the meds that you’re on I don’t know of any way of forcing you into hypomania during the day. I usually smoke/vape/digest a good 100% indica to help me sleep. It usually works well. I was on sleeping pills for a long, long time and having increasingly horrific side effects. No side effects with medical cannabis.

Are you currently taking oxycodone? Have you ever abused opioids? I was on morphine for 14-years and then oxycodone and OxyContin (maybe they’re the same thing? Opioids always confused me, but I never abused the drugs. These days I settle for one 325mg Aspirin daily.

I would bet that I’ve tried far, far more medications in my 33-year psychotic adventure than you! When I was hospitalized for 3+ years, I was given new meds every 6-8 weeks. Almost died twice.

Do you have a direct question?

Don't lie, you're not sorry or would have ...Next time read. I'm Asking about prescribed medication. "Received nothing but care" No. I wasn't aware that there was a limit to my condition. I'M OXY FREE ALMOST 4 MONTHS. And I live next door to it, shall I want.

So time, seeing you have no patience or helpful. Next time don't answer. Just because I've posted about my honesty, isn't ammunition to put me under the spotlight.

I'm trying to get advice on what I should i ...me why bother
