I have just started to feel better on current medication cocktail. Just wanted to share in case it could help someone else. I was for over a year in a very deep state of depression even suicidal! I now take Trintellix 30 mg, Zyrtec 5 mg, vyvanse 40 mg, Renton 15 mg and am slowly weaning off Klonipin. My anxiety was also unbearable! I hate taking this many meds! But it beats being suicidal!!

I have tried many meds Right now for my bipolar/depression I take Effexor and Lamictal I was taking Klonipin for my anxiety as needed and have been for like 10 yrs then I was told by a dr that it affects memory which I have big problem with for about a yr now. I also had ECT treatment which I know affects it also I have tried other meds for anxiety and racing thought but nothing seems to help. I am currently looking for a job as my company let some of us go during covid and am very worried about my memory affecting it

Along with my bipolar meds I take 50 mg. Atarex for anxiety as needed up to 4x day. I usually only take it twice. It works wonders and is a great substitute for Klonopin. I was originally prescribed buspar but they really didn't help much.

Honestly, mine look like rookie numbers 😭 I take 75mg Zoloft for my mental health trail mix and currently 100mg modafinil for my narcolepsy (though I am probably going up to 200mg in about two weeks)
