mistyscout2 said:I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what’s causing such a dramatic reaction? Like, why is it so urgent to stop taking it and call the doctor right this second? What makes this specific medication so much worse than the others out there?
Robin Hernandez8 said:So, that’s the one!
I guess... is anyone else here actually taking this stuff?
Arthur Vaughn2 said:So, I have a quick question. Along with my Zoloft, I've been prescribed Misar to take as needed, plus Arvind (25 mg) twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
Does anyone know if taking Arvind (an antiepileptic) messes with how birth control pills work?
Kenneth Scott41 said:Yeah, but let's be honest, that medication hits like a freight train. 😲 It’s so heavy you can barely even catch your breath...

Robin Hernandez8 said:So, I’m currently taking some pills that have Roch 2 stamped on them... has anyone else ever dealt with these? Does anyone actually know what they are? 😕
Kenneth Scott41 said:Moditen?! That's actually one of the heavy hitters... where are you even getting that?
What exactly are you struggling with?
Ashley Thomas5 said:I was wondering, does anyone know if it's actually possible for Lexapro 20 to cause bruising on your legs even if you haven't bumped into anything?
Has anyone else out there noticed symptoms like that happening?
Kenneth Scott41 said:Well, I'm back! 😁
So, about ten days ago, I ended up spending four days checked into the psych ward. I told my psychiatrist that I was honestly just fed up with the whole routine—just lying in bed all day, popping pills, smoking, and dealing with the exact same monotony every single day. Plus, sleep is basically non-existent because there are two other people in the room who just snore through everything.😳
I mean, I could be at home doing the exact same thing and taking these same meds, so what’s really the difference? 🤷
And yet, here I am again, back in this little "sanctuary." 🙂
Right now, my regimen includes Zoloft (which I actually think is great, since I haven't felt any side effects from it), Lexapro 20, Effexor 75, and Normabel. It seems like a pretty decent combination, if I do say so myself 🙂; I haven't run into any nasty side effects, though I guess the Effexor gives me a bit of heartburn.
How is everyone else holding up? Especially you, Rejo? 🙂
Nicole Chase3 said:I'm an F-22 and Risset literally saved my life. People whining about medication are just straight-up idiots. I take my stuff just to quiet the voices. Don't worry, I'm not abusing them or anything—just keeping it chill. I'm hanging in there.
Brandon Newman95 said:Oh, absolutely. But man, it pays off—provided both the client and the therapist are actually fired up about it. You have to put in the work. It’s a grind, honestly. A total blood, sweat, and tears kind of job.
Bradley Smith3 said:Ashley Thomas5 yeah, tell me about it... I’m dropping $300 every single time just to play... this sport is getting ridiculous😁
Joshua Phillips5 said:Hey. I’ve been diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. I feel like I’ve cycled through a ton of meds already—tried Zyprexa, Lamictal, Prozac, and Paxil. Right now, I’m on Lexapro and Xanax, but honestly? None of them seem to be doing anything for me. I don't know what else to do... and man, living like this is just brutal. Anyone got any advice??
Kenneth Scott41 said:To circle back to the subject of psychotropic meds for depression... I had an appointment with my psychiatrist today regarding my current depressive episode, and she suggested that the Lexapro I’ve been on for such a long time just isn't quite potent enough for my specific situation. Consequently, she prescribed Ladiomil at 25mg to be taken once in the evening alongside my other medication.
I’ve been lurking on this forum and following this particular thread for quite a while now, yet I haven't really come across anyone who has actually used Ladiomil. I suppose I'm wondering if anyone here has any firsthand experience with it? Has anyone ever tried taking it?
From what little I could dig up online, it seems like it might be an older medication that isn't used much anymore...
Anyone out there? Any thoughts?
Timothy Wood38 said:Back at it again with yet another medication shuffle. My psychiatrist decided to pull the plug on my Prozac and swap it out for Wellbutrin instead. So, here is the current lineup:
Paxil 60mg
Wellbutrin 300mg
Zyprexa 10mg
Ambien 20mg
Xanax 0.75 mg
I’m curious—does anyone here actually have experience using Wellbutrin? I’ve been trying to convince myself that this specific cocktail of Paxil, Zyprexa, and Wellbutrin is going to be the magic fix. Honestly, the power of suggestion is a funny thing... I already feel a bit better, 🙂 even though, realistically, it's far too early for the Wellbutrin to actually kick in. But, well, there it is. If you've dealt with Wellbutrin before, please, let me know what your experience was like.
Kenneth Scott41 said:Normabell and Xanax at the same time? I mean, isn't that pushing it just a little bit??
Personally, I only take Normabell, and honestly, it works way better for me than Xanax ever did.
I used to be on Depakote as a stabilizer, but that was a nightmare—it made me put on about 20 pounds and gave me these awful tremors and spasms... just a terrible medication, really. I don't touch it anymore.
Kenneth Scott41 said:Hehe, I suppose that little bear is actually pretty cute 🙂
Anyway, how have you been holding up health-wise? How’s the medication regimen treating you? I guess I’ve finally tossed out most of my pill collection... I'm down to just one... well, maybe two, if I'm being honest.
Kenneth Scott41 said:love you, fadedbear92 😍😍 🙂
Bradley Smith3 said:thanks for the support 🙂
and man, this whole thing isn't easy either.
sometimes I feel like I just ran a marathon—totally wiped out😁 from all these resurfaced feelings and memories... and then there are those moments where I wonder if I'm even bothering...
Bradley Smith3 said:Ashley Thomas5, look, I don't touch any antidepressants, but I am hitting up therapy once a week—plus, I'll occasionally pop a little Xanax here and there, just a tiny dose because I’m terrified of getting hooked.
I think the mental health work helps a ton, but man, some days I'm just completely losing my mind.😁
