My dumb ass tried over two dozen meds and it made matters much worse. I quit taking the neurotoxins a few years ago hoping my brain would heal itself. Hasn't happened yet and probably never will. Fuck psych drugs!

 

[yeaimhere13]

abilify (antipsychotic) - 7/10 made the thoughts quiet but i gained 50lbs lol
prozac (antidepressant) - 0/10 a sugar pill would have been more affective than this
clomipramine (antidepressant specifically for OCD) - 5/10 im not sure how well this one worked bc i was taking it alongside the abilify but i saw a slight improvement after implementing it into my cocktail
lexapro (antidepressant) - 4/10 didn't really help with the depression or OCD but my anxiety levels became more manageable
xanax (benzo) - 10/10 this drug is fucking amazing, literally shuts everything out
ativan (benzo) - 7/10 works fine but not as good as xanax
klonopin (benzo) - 3/10 the affectiveness wore off after the first couple doses :/

Ok so I only am currently taking one (Nuedexta) but I'm gonna rate some past ones too,

Nuedexta - 7/10 doesn't cure my depression but I do feel a little better on it, expensive as hell to get since its a pretty new drug though
Prozac - 2/10 a waste of money to get didn't help me at all
Zoloft - 3/10 same as Prozac but had less bad side effects
Cymbalta - 0/10 awful side effects, didn't sleep for 3 days straight (No exaggeration) and felt miserable the whole time

P.S. Don't knock Prozac/Zoloft just because they don't work for me though, I know it can be super helpful for others.
