I feel like I'm taking a ton of medicine. 3. I use to take less. A lot less. 1. About 2 years ago, I didn't want to go down in dose on zyprexa. My doctor got mad(looking) and said the lots of medicine route works better for some people. I'm starting to think I was wrong. ? Bake then I was supposed to be taking 30 mg celexa and 5 mg of zyprexa. Now I take 7.5 zyprexa, 60 celexa and 300 wellbutrin sr. I feel spaced out, distant from people.

I take so much, for so long, and I'm still not better?

You're on alot of brainwashing meds my friend, yes less is more. The more your brain has to adapt too, the harder it will ever be to not be a slave to the pharmaceutical companies. You like me and millions of others are a money spinner, the drugs will never make you better, just dependent. Take care xxx

I would tell your pdoc about your spacing out feelings. It sounds like some adjustments need to be made.

My problem is the doctors all think I need it.? No doctor has ever thought it to be a good idea to stop all meds.

I think I will tell the doctor. I just hate making med changes. Throws me all out of wack.

5 mg zyprexa, 40 mg celexa, 200 mg wellbutrin sr. I'm taking 7.5, 60, 300. Which do I start with. Or all at once.

Sebastian, Zyprexa is strong medicine. I take 2.5 mg for sleep and the next day I always feel like a zombie. Wellbutrin is a stimulant (I took it for five years) so by cutting that one out you might be able to reduce your dosage of Zyprexa. I have never taken Celexa so I am in no position to advise you on that one.
So, 5 mg Zyprexa and 40 mg Celexa daily might be a good goal for you.

I've already decided you are right! So starting tonight I will take 200 mg wellbutrin and 40 mg celexa. If this works I will take the zyprexa down to 5 mg. I already told my doctor on his voice mail.

That didn't work. Up the zyprexa, up the wellbutrin sr. Keep celexa lower. 60 down to 40.
