I currently take 24 medications 13 psych meds I wish i could remember a time in my life that i was a little less messed up. I am drawing a complete blank as to what to say. I know i'm tired very tired of trying to maintain a life that i must stay in because of 2 people. And sometimes i just go past the 2 people and attempt to end it. And as with everything else i'm a failure.

That's overkill for any disorder I can think of, I would get a second opinion on your meds and see what's necessary and what's not, a med overhaul may be in order

Wow! 13? I take 6 and thought it was insane. I'd seek another opinion about them.

I take 8 psych meds. 13 does seem like too much, but I'm no doctor.

Hi and welcome to Psych Central! Wow, that is a lot. Have you talked to your prescriber about getting off some of them and/or the side effects?

13 medications is absurd. Life must be a groggy existence.

You should really consider getting another opinion. Being on that amount of medication suggests your diagnosis is incorrect.
