Faverin and Abizol for anxiety and obsessive thoughts.

Too damn many

Current prescription medications:
20 mg Lexapro (anxiety; suffered from withdrawal when discontinued)
One capsule of Deplin (anxiety)
0.5 mg Rexulti (clinical depression, but also successfully treated my anxiety)
Two capsules of amantadine (appetite control due to extreme weight gain caused by Rexulti)
100 mg trazodone (sleep disturbance)

Former prescription medications:
Zoloft (anxiety; made me hyperactive)
Abilify (anxiety; caused an unusually high amount of lipids in my bloodstream)
Buspar (anxiety; was ineffective)
Trintellix (anxiety; didn't help with depression and was generally ineffective)

Medications recommended to me but not prescribed:
Prozac (anxiety and depression)
Risperdal (unknown reason, possibly to control mood)
Viibryd (anxiety and/or depression)
Pristiq (anxiety and/or depression)
Paxil (anxiety and/or depression)
Unknown SSRI

Lamotrigine 100mg for Bipolar

Lithium Carbonate ER - Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Type

Currently, just generic Ritalin IR 20mg 4x/day for severe ADHD (Combined-type).

I was recently taken off paroxetine and put on lamotrix(lamictal) because I had a manic episode so now I take lamotrix, abilify and xanax.

Schizophrenia:

Zyprexa 30mg
Invega 3mg

Social Anxiety:

Lexapro 30mg

I think I should be on Paxil instead of Lexapro. But maybe it's fine the way it is.

They just took me off of Neurontin for the burning skin during peak panic attacks from work (doing complex or multi tasking resulting in sensory overstimulation of my visual, olfactory, and audio capacity), and put me on Effexor the burning is much more rare now. But my coping mechanism for the last 30 years has been to work in a state of high adrenalation. But now I have less stomach tightening. But my upper body strength is back to my childhood, weaker and clumsier. My jaw is clenched far harder and more often just like my childhood. It took my coping mechanism away. Not sure what to do. I am still smashing the keyboard hard enough to jam the keys. Still afraid of straws, (cuting my gums, jamming up my nose, or the worst.... sticking myself in the eye) still hate the act of eating chewing fear of chipping my teeth on metal, dodging plastic utensils for fear of biting of pieces of them and swallowing them as part of my meal. I don't want to attack people who interrupt me as much though now. That's good.

None. Unless if you count melatonin for sleep problems.
