Well, you posted your list, so now I feel tempted to ask you a couple things.
:P How much of each AP are you on? Have you found the combo to be more helpful than just one of the other APs or did you and your doc just kind of stumble into you taking both? [I've ended up doing that a couple times- like with abilify and risperidone before] Also- have you been told specifically that ADHD meds would interact with your other medications? Like a possible blood pressure thing? Maybe the viagra? The other meds, granted I don't know everything that's impossible, I'm just having a hard time coming up with a common interaction. Anywho... |

OH, sorry! :P
AP=antipsychotic, class of medications. So, seroquel/quetiapine and risperdal/risperidone are both APs/Antipsychotics [well, ATYPICAL antipsychotics- second generation and newer antipsychotics, generally better tolerated than older ones] |

5mgs of risperidone, 100mgs of serquel, so I guess two APs.

oh you asked me what I started off with, I started off with riseridone then later serquel was added for sleep and I got after use to not passing out from the 3mgs of risperidone I take in the evening, at first I was on 1mgs of risperidone in the morning then after a three year drug addiction , it was upped to 2mgs in the morning, bring a total of 5mgs or risperidone in a day. also clonazepam was added for anti-anxiety. I'm hoping to bring down my 2mgs in the morning back down to 1mgs again, but first I have to get better and kinda working on that right now.

street drugs and psyche meds are not a good mix. It really complicates things and makes it very hard for a pdoc to figure out what is going on. I hope you are staying clean. that has to be addressed first.
Seroquel for sleep again. Isn't an AAP overkill for sleep. Why don't they just use remeron or trazadone. or even ambien is better than an AAP for sleep. it may work good but much more dangerous and maybe unwanted effects. isn't one AAP enough.
