My cocktail:
Lexapro 20 mg; Wellbutrin, 300 mgs; Clonazapam,

Lamictal, 200 mgs., Abilify 2 mgs.

I want to thank everyone for their responses. So far I am watching Lamictal for memory loss as well as Clonazapam for fatigue, and Abilify for weight gain.

Two friends approached me now and have told me I'm "overmedicated" because I got some details mixed up (thus memory loss) Now I am really concerned about that.

Even though a lot of my meds are sedating I still only sleep about 5 hours a night.

I don't feel overmedicated. This is the best I've felt in a long time. I am thinking of making changes, just don't know where to start. I know......talk to my psych but am very concerned about this before I see her in two months.

I know we aren't all doctors, but I would appreciate some feedback; for example, if you have been told this before on your "cocktail" of meds, etc. And how many people here may have a cocktail of meds of five and how do you feel? I know we are all different in response to meds.

Thanks so much.

I am on a cocktail of seven meds. I don't think I am overmedicated I just want to get to stable in my life. I just came off of Topamax and am doing better cognitively. I really like the Lamictal.

if your the best you have felt then your not over medicated , don't change because someone told you your on to many. You can be on 20 if it makes life better, memory loss is short term memory loss not you forget your past .Its no biggy just ride with it
