I have anxiety, depression, mania. I am borderline. I have PTSD. I have severe anxiety disorders. I have OCD. I am possibly bipolar.

I am currently taking:
Celexa 40mg
Remeron 30mg
Wellbutrin 300mg
Trazodone 200mg
Buspar 60mg
Geodon 160mg
Depakote 1500mg
Vistaril 100mg

The question I have is anyone else taking eight medications or more. How much is too much? Should I get a second opinion or is this normal. I am taking eight medications daily so I was wanting to see if there are others like me.

My Pdoc said I was" only taking five wants to add Abilify and remove seroquel.
'- not sure what is the norm. Depression.
Wellbrutin 450
Zoloft 100mg
Clonazepam 2 mg
Cytomel 50mcg
Seroquel 75mg at night

Still waiting for the right combination. the Cytomel or T3, made the most difference besides Therapy.

I guess your question depends of if you are finding success with your combination.

It's not about the quantity of medications, but the quality of how they are working. If there are no major drug interactions, and you are tolerating these meds and they are working to treat your symptoms, I'd stick with it.
Thanks for this!
