What illness do you have and what medication do you take?

[An Empty Soul]

What psychiatric condition do you have and what medication are you taking? I have major depression and generalized anxiety. I use Zoloft and Wellbutrin. What about you?

 

[inpainnosleep]

I have Anxiety, panic attacks, horrible OCD, depression, BPD, Autism, chronic migraines. I have started having neurological symptoms such as parasthesia and other issues. The worst of what's going on with me right now is myocolonus which literally jerks me awake every time my brain starts going into sleep mode. I'm extremely sleep deprived, which has a caused all kinds of health problems and has made me horribly anxious and depressed. The myocolonus is the reason I'm on this site.

I am very medication intolerant at this point. The doctors won't take me seriously but I'm pretty sure I have nerve hyperexitability. So every time I take a med, I feel tingling/burning sensation in hands feet and other body parts, start sweating and sometimes get anxious. The only meds I'm still on are Clonazepam and migraine med.

[meowzers3276]

Asperger and depression. I think I also have BPD.

I used to take antidepressants, I tried many. Some dont work, some others just make me flat or are useless and only work when you are really down... But they dont take away the massive emptiness i feel every day..

Autism and bipolar disorder. I take risperdal and lamotrigine.

What migraine meds work for you?

 

[inpainnosleep]

What migraine meds work for you?

I take Nurtec. I have government insurance so hopefully the new changes to Medicare/medicate won't make the medication inaccessible.

That helps for me too. These new meds are much more effective than the old ones. Glad it helps.

Yes, I couldn't tolerate the old ones so my chronic migraines went untreated for a long time.

Yes, I couldn't tolerate the old ones so my chronic migraines went untreated for a long time.

There is also Qulipta and a once a month injectable, all similar to Nurtec.

 

[restingplace]

Ggeneralised anxiety, clinical depression, ARFID and gender dysphoria. I could possibly have dissociative amnesia but that's not been confirmed on paper. I take 40mg fluoxetine and desogestrel tablets

 

[hurts2b-old]

I have shit life syndrome and mental disability(s). I take prozac.

 

[coolcow1289]

I have panic disorder.

I take Hydroxyzine but I'll be going on SSRIs shortly. I'm scared of them but I'm out of options

 

[UserFromNowhere]

Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder, Autism, and ADHD. On a combination of Prozac, Adderall, Seroquel, and Hydroxyzine to control symptoms. Seroquel for sleep issues which aren't formally diagnosed but that I have.

 

[eddie202603]

We might as well ask who here doesn't have any illnesses at all.

 

[urgent]

I have to many to list. Some bad genetics, my family has a lot of diseases, and cancers. I also had several injuries from hit by car when biking, bad fall down icy long cement staircase, hit by drunk drivers, texting, to many times in New York. I did chiropractor,PT acupuncture, yoga,exercise, inflammation diets,red light therapy, sauna, detox, everything and medications, steroids, injections and epidurals, pain blocks, stopped working, caused damage, an epidural puncture made me worse. My bones are so painful, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, sciatica, lupus, fibromyalgia, gastritis, pernicious anemia, migraine clusters, TMJ, burning mouth and tongue syndrome, severe insomnia, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, aren't all but I just want to make sure you know to be careful of the meds. My doctors were giving me meds for side effects. Even though I didn't want meds,and I asked questions, I complained of weight gain and memory problems and wasn't told it was gabapentin. Zoloft caused horrible burning mouth and tongue syndrome like 16 years ago and I still have it, it's so painful, even though I did stop Zoloft. I was taken off meds I should have been told to taper off. I was told I had anxiety before I had it! When my mouth didn't get better I was put on Ativan and told that's why I still had it. I had fatigue from Hashimato disease but was given Wellbutrin for energy because my doctor said I was depressed. Wellbutrin causes bruxism and depletes vitamins and causes deficiencies. I had TMJ, pernicious anemia, lupus. It's to much but make sure your doctors know what others put you on and remember many are short term. I wish I never let them use off use benzodiazepines. I was switched quickly from one to another when these are serious meds and that caused serious pain. My autoimmune diseases and degenerative diseases destroy my kidneys, my organs and bones but what they give us for mental health and sleep and when it's side effects not symptoms destroyed my nervous system, causes dementia, weight gain. They see you for a second and give you a script. Give me Ambien for years and when there's lawsuits lower or take it away. Now how do I sleep. Nothing helps the horrific pain. Severe Gastroparesis when I was taken off Ativan switched to others quickly then stopped. I'm just a nightmare of diseases, injuries, medication injuries, treatment and doctors caused that is extreme pain and suffering brutally surviving each day. I think I should have the right to ask a doctor to painlessly end my torturous existence as fast as you give or take all the other meds!

Me too. The psychiatrist suggested Lithium today for MDD.Feeling a bit nervous about it but I am in a terrible state every day at this stage. My meds need to change.Lamotrigine helped me before so I suggested that but I wasn't this ill before. I take Wellbutrin and I like the energy it gives me and my memory has improved a little. I am constantly on edge though. Have been given Valium for a week just to calm me down. Quetiapine helps me sleep.

 

[caramelpudding]

Part of me thinks I've been misdiagnosed. I was diagnosed with mdd and then bipolar.
I was on sertraline anxiset lorazepam and then lamotrigine risperidone trihexyphenidyl and clonazepam.
I've plan to come off all meds and let the withdrawal kill me.

 

[jeevasO-o]

That's a hard question because I have so many that I'm not sure if I'll remember all.. Major depression, BPD (borderline personality disorder), Autism, ADHD <-(I'm not really diagnosed on that yet, I think???.. but honestly I don't care), DID (Dissocative Identify disorder), DPDR (Depersonalisation Derealization Disorder), GAD (General anxiety disorder), ARFID (Avoidant restrictive food intake Disorder), Anorexia, PTSD and .... I don't know if I forgot anything. My life sucksss... But could be worse, I guess.

I don't even remember what meds I excatly take and I got them taken away a while agooo... (Being off-meds is very dangerous for me, but nothing big happened..yet)

 

[Mrs. T-800]

Anorexia, CPTSD, regular PTSD, PMDD, anxiety. No medication! I do my best with what I have

 

[ginadu]

I have a new psychiatrist. He has started me on Sertraline. I have to stop the Bupropion because I have started taking Tamoxifen again. Quetiapine dosage has increased too.
Have the butterfly feelings on the new meds. Starting to feel a bit better already though mostly because I really felt listened to. The doctor told me I was really, really sick and I needed meds to help my brain chemistry. Hearing that was a relief. It isn't that I am weak or a malingerer or I should be able to snap out of it. I have an illness. I can't help it and there are several options to help me get better. For the first time in a very, very long time I have hope.
