It’s Geodon and Vraylar for me. Once I started Geodon, I started consistently sleeping at night and I started getting better. Vraylar keeps me there for the most part.

I just took my first dose today and I was happy it had no side effects. I don’t know why I was so scared of it. |

I can’t name just one. I need them all. I’ve been on Trintellix and Lamictal for years. Saphris is new as is Trazadone.

Benzos (the only med I have found I am not allergic to. I was also allergic recently to another... medical... thing.
 The rash is healing though with baby aveeno.)

I take Clonazepam primarily because it helps with my tinnitus. I don't think I could keep going without it. For a while it also helped with my anxiety and my anger issues, and it may still be doing so, but not as much as it was initially. I've read the benefits of Clonazepam, for anxiety, wear off after a few weeks. So it's not typically recommended for longer than 4 or 5 weeks I think it is. (Plus it's addictive.) But I expect to be on it permanently due to my tinnitus. Before I started taking it again, a few months ago (I had been on it previously for a while), I was definitely in a dark and scary place...

Like others have said, each med I take targets a different symptom and I don't think any of them are more important than the other - the constellation of meds is what works: lithium for mania, lamictal for depression, zoloft for anxiety, seroquel for sleep, and adderall as needed to focus. I started with lithium, and each one thereafter was added when the previous med stabilized it's target symptom. The stabilization of one symptom revealed the next that needed to be addressed.
