75mg Zoloft (depression, social phobia. Not sure if this is high enough, as the anxiety seems to be getting more problematic. BUT on the other hand, I've been on it for a year, and don't know what I'd be like without it. I'm functioning - as in getting up, going to work, more or less achieving things from day-to-day.)
30mg Ritalin (spread out as 15 + 10 + 5, or varied as I need it. It clears out the "white noise" of ADD, but I have to time it very carefully. The 4 hours between doses which I was initially recommended do not work b/c of the wearing off effect. I find it reaches its peak approximately 1 - 1.5 hrs after taking and tapers off from there.)
15mg Ambien (I was prescribed 10mg/night, but that's useless. I have been shunted around from one sleeping pill to another, but none really attack the bottomline problem, which is that my mind just won't shut up enough to let me sleep, no matter how physically exhausted I am. The amnesiac and hallucinatory effects of ambien don't make me happy, but for the moment, I'm tired of trying anything new.)
