I've made a decision about my meds

After lying in bed all day yesterday and other things prior I’m going back on Lexapro. Luckily I have a pdoc appointment Monday. The antidepressant transmutes my feelings into something manageable though it’s a frustrating feeling. R u on an antidepressant? Maybe I should take another one?

I’m on Wellbutrin and love it.

I say talk to your doctor about options that might work for you. Take a part in your care.

Wellbutrin has been good for me, but it made me a little spooky at first.

I take Venlafaxine and Lithium. Both work very well for me.

Effexor XR works good for me :+1:

I love Cymbalta. It also works well on anxiety and helps tons on my chronic pain. I got away from opioids with Cymbalta’s help.

I take vortioxetine. It has kept me out of the pits for months now. I look forward to the day I don’t need it anymore, if that day ever arrives.

Lamictal is my “antidepressant”
It keeps me from spiraling down

I slept 18 hours Sunday. Now I’ve got all night to fix myself up to see my pdoc in the morning.

I’m on Cymbalta as well. I tried stopping it on my own, not a good idea, but I was having problems sleeping without it. So it looks like I’m going to have to be on it.

If your meds don’t harm your health in anyways then why not just stay on them
I realized that it wasn’t the pills I’m on now there in anyway caused me declining cognitively but the pills I took half a year ago that indirectly caused icognitive decline because they caused lack of sleep.

I was hoping to save some money on my pharmacy bill, but I apparently need the Cymbalta AD. I’ll find out the damage to my wallet when I pick up my meds tomorrow.

I think some side effects are not seen. That’s scary. I like less meds. I prefer a holistic approach.
