You got me by 2 medications. I’ve been on 30 (that I can remember.)
it’s still a work in progress. i am positive there have been quite a bit more.
thanks for the blog follow. 🙂
Wow, I thought that I had been on a-lot of meds but it doesn’t come close to all these you have been on.
I hope, one day, the right combo will work for you so you can go from surviving to thriving.
unfortunately, i don’t think there is a magic combo out there for me. my last doctor confided to me that he thought i might be ‘treatment resistant’ since most of those meds i had been on hadn’t worked. it’s been a long and horrible struggle, and i am so ready to just give up on meds and find a different alternative.
The frustration gets unbearable doesn’t it? Maybe there are alternatives. I have been educating myself to prepare for a med free life. Cheers to us both for striving on even when it feels futile.
i will definitely drink to that. 🙂
You know what’s sad? I read down the list and know what everything is! (From experience….ha.) Geodone (check!) Resperidal (check!) – I don’t see that thorozine has made your list. That one was particularly fun. I remember fuzzy things like…spit dripping from my chin in a total catatonic state. Good times…good times. Ambien and I have a love/love relationship though. (It’s the BEST.) :0)
haha. no, thorazine has not made the list yet. but who knows? maybe some day.
and yes, ambien has been the greatest and also one of the worse meds i have ever taken. it’s really a bastard. but i have a soft spot in my heart for it. 🙂
Hehe…I hear you!
