I've never taken anything, never will, despite everyone recommending that I do.

I used to take medicine, but I've been doing way better without it. All it really seemed to do was make me lethargic and more irritable.

I don't take any meds. Years ago I was prescribed Amyl Triptyline for depression but it didn't seem to help much. The depressive periods just seem to come, take their course and then disappear again for a few more years. I just live through the general minor ups and downs and moodiness.

I've been taking Zoloft for many years now for depression, though I still get depressed, especially when I'm lonely.

My meds have changed so much over the past few years. This second I am taking Zoloft for depression, Abilify for schizoaffective disorder (don't agree with that one), Valium for anxiety and sleep, atenolol for high blood pressure, and finally cyclobenzaprine for pain. I used to take high doses of Geodon but it caused uncontrolled arm movements, Invega caused extreme prolactin levels, Risperdal caused my period to stop, Lithium caused my hair to fall out, Lamictal caused a rash and me to shock everything I touched, and thats all I remember. There's probably a lot more. I refuse to take Zyprexa due to the huge amount of weight gain, and Clozaril for the fact that one of the side effects is death unless you take weekly blood tests to prevent you from dying.

1 mg Risperidone (acts as mood stabilizer-is an anti-psychotic)
20 mg Celexa (for anxiety)
2 mg Amitryptilene (migraine preventative)
T3 - tylenol with Codeine (for runaway migraines)

So far so good...crushing anxiety is alleviated, and I don't get the irritation and aggression with the risperidone on board. So far the Amitryp. is new, so don't know how it'll work for migraines.

Been on dozens of pills for different things at different times and for different periods....

I am not on anything, except for diabetic medication, and mineral supplements. Sometimes I think certain people need to be on heavy duty animal tranquillizers
