Is this a reasonable med combo?

Posted by janeB on January 28, 2007, at 14:18:41

10mg fluoxetine
.50 mg clonazepam AM & PM
5 mg methylphenidate prn for motivation (30 pills last a couple of months)

Without any meds I am anxious/depressive/insomniac or sleeping too much/anhedonic/anti-social.

With them I am functional.

Thanks,Jane

looks good to me--your dosages are small, and you're covering all your bases (depression, anxiety, concentration) with low doses of a few meds. If its working, I say..awesome.

I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I also suffer from ADD. My psych has taken me off ritalin 60mg and effexor xr 100mg all at once, due to the effexor and ritalin causing me a psychomanic experience. She has placed me on Seroquel 200mg to ward off the comedown of the other meds. I feel like I'm eating up every sweet thing in my house. I'm agitated, irritated and head swings like someone has a boxing match going on in there. Let's not talk about sleep, that's all I've been doing for the past 3days.

Helllllppp Me!!!
