I do self medicate,no one knows how I feel exactly so there I go.All the meds I take without prescription I used to take before.
I am sza and take a very small dose of sertraline. I canāt take much because ADs can make me manic. I also take Lamictal, a mood stabilizer which has antidepressant properties. The combination works for me.

I take Celexa and it helps me not to be suicidal. I still have tons of anxiety but not really depression

I have found AD make me extremely manic as well. Lamictal works very well for me, too.

I was told to go on prozac. I was told it can help with my mood and prevent binge eatingā¦ Sounds too good to be true so I left it
I was on Zoloft for about 6 months , gradually getting to the max dose. About 4 weeks ago came off of Zoloft cold turkey, supplementing with 5-htp to curb withdrawals. It worked pretty well. I felt great and all I had to deal with was brain zaps. Zoloft made me feel emotionless, not real, anhedonia, didnāt care about much. I much prefer being off of antidepressants and Iām not depressed anymore. I use st johnās wort now for better mood. I consider antidepressants to be a last resort option. I donāt think they should be prescribed so often. That being said, they can save your life if you feel at rock bottom which I was when I started taking mine.
40mg of prozac but itās for intrusive thoughts

You are schizophrenic but donāt take anti psychotics??? ā¦ and yeah if you are schizophrenic mirrazapine which is an SNRI will make your symptoms worse Iāve experienced the same thing but didnāt go to the hospital
Iām not diagnosedā¦ donāt even know if I am sz at all (trying to get to a doctor) and it doesnāt bother me unless Iām doing quite badly, which isnāt all the time. Overall Iād rather be on as little meds as possible
yep i take zoloft for my ocd and i find it works pretty well
