How many medications are you on?

[bernie40]

It would be interesting to find out how many people are on more than one medication for their mental health.  I am currently on 3 medications, Depakote and Lithium for my BP and Zopiclone to aid sleep.  I realise this is a very basic poll as it does not show how many different types of mental health problems are being experienced but depending on the response this could lead to a further poll about diagnosis etc.

160mg Geodon
200mg Zoloft
60mg Propranolol
2-4mg Klonopin
5mg Abilify

I take trazodone for sleep
Lamotrigine for mood
Zeldox (Geodone in the US) to keep the ruminating thoughts away.

Reading this thread sounds like a cocktail party. This is more of a question than a judgement...how can any doctor or patient keep track of what side effects are being caused by what, what new side effects are being intorduced by adding another drug to counteract the problems of the first, what's helping what, and what are the short and long term effects of having a slew of substances in the body?

Personally I take the approach that where I can, I find out what's causing the problem and remove that before considering adding something as a remedy.

If I had answered this poll last week I would have said Lamictal. Now this week I'll include Wellbutrin in that.

I only take Abilify 15mg.  Used to take Geodon 160mg.  I was on risperdal briefly in between these two but I forget what dose I was on.
