I agree completely..too many meds..some good meds..and some bad ones. Taking some that may give you a much needed boost, and some that will dope you up so much you may never feel good. I don't know why psychiatrist insist on doing this.
I will add..it may be worth it in the long run to try to take a little pain and tolerate some things until the "good" medications are able to give you what you really need. Basically, start weening off the bad sh*t, seroquel and valium. And, maybe add a low dose of zyprexa as suggested.
Good advice and assessment beauberry
