What meds do you take?

[Heartfelt123]

I feel there is a stigma about taking meds for a mental illness. Mental illness is a real thing, i have schizoeffective disorder and i need meds help me to heal. I have been on a ton of meds over the years (im 29) here is a list of them:

Prozac
Celexa
Paxil
Lorazapam
Gabapentin
Depakote
Zyprexa

I currently take Zyprexa 5mg, Depakote 1000mg, and Gabapentin 600mg
This seems to be the best med combo for me.

What do you take?

I used to take a lot of meds. I went on a natural formula that at first I had no faith in but now I feel better than before. I take vitamins from True Hope and only take a 25 mg of Trazedone at night.

There may be a stigma to taking meds. to some, but letting BP take over your life can be dangerous! And it really is a stigma to keep going into the mental hospital.
I take Lithium, Seroquel, Zoloft and Xanax for panic attacks and mild mania.

I take trileptal. Its an antiseizure medicine but works as a mild mood stablizer. It really helps me.
