I'm currently taking a much more hands on approach with my meds. I've
found a doctor I feel fairly comfortable with. She seems to be able to understand that I don't sign on to meds, or med changes very easy.
I went in there today with my own plan of adjusting today. I was assertive, & got everything I asked for So now if I have any bad effects I've got no one to blame but myself. I am really curious to here from others with any or all of these meds...good, bad or indifferent.
My combo has been showing signs of working but after scoring 111 on the sanity score I know there was still a need to tweek. After as long as I've fought medication she had to be shell shocked that I asked to increase.

Zoloft: Upped from 50 mg to 100mg.
Adderall: 20 mg.
Xanax: .5 mg
Ambien: 10 mg. (ahhh, I've so missed this one...I kissed the bottle)

I'm not on any of the meds you're on, so I can't comment on your cocktail, but I wanted to say good for you for being assertive in your own care. I firmly believe that as patients we have to be informed and involved with our medication decisions (assuming we're not actively psychotic). I know I heavily research all meds before taking a new one.

It's great that you've found a Dr. that you can work with.
