Present regimen:
Darvocette 100-2x's a day
clonazepam 1mg a.m-1mg pm
carisoprodal 350 mgs. prn daily
propanolol 40 mgs. 2 x's a day
Zoloft 50 mgs. nightly
Adderall 30 mgs. a.m. and mid-dayWill answer more about diagnoses later, it's still a bit fuzzy, my therp is not big on labeling, & I am a bit of a 'mix'.
But, pdoc said ADD straight out, altho that may have been in order to get me on the stims I needed immediately and out of the dark hole I was mired in at the time.
More later~
