20 mg of paroxetine (Paxil) a day.

I'm a wreck when I'm off the stuff. I do not like being off of the medicine at all.

If you started a thread like that, you'd get a different answer. In a thread about meds people who don't take them are less likely to reply.

I take estrogen, synflex and tranexamic acid for hormonal issues. I might need a testosterone inhibitor too.
I have codeine on hand for severe inexplicable stomach pain.
I was on fluroxetine for a couple of months, but it make me feel worse, and I disagreed with the reason for the prescription so I stopped.
I can get lorazepam when I need it for stress, but it knocks me out too badly to be able to do anything, and since I work for a living and don't live with anyone I know, this is very inconvenient. So I use it sparingly.

I'm not taking any kind of medicine. In the past i took Zopiclon to get to sleep. The sideeffects were pretty bad though, i showed irrational careless behavious when using them. I simply didn't care what i said or did. The morning after taking them i was barely awake til about 1 pm at wich time i could eventually start focussing again. Than comes the worst sideeffect, at the time i was lifting weights, but one sideeffect was that it damages your muscles. So all this time i had muscle pains and often couldn't work out for like 3 weeks. The result was that i had to give up working out at that time. I took the last pill 2 years ago, but i know for sure that my muscles are still weakened from taking it. I only found out the muscle pains and zoplycon were linked after i started researching the drug on the net.

This has put me off from using any kind of "sedatives" for good.
To these people drugging us we are really nothing more than labrats to test theyr meds on.
