Hey everyone, so I ended up in the ER last night dealing with some intense panic attacks. They prescribed me some Valium SR 0.5 mg and Coaxil 12.5 mg... they actually handed me a few pills right then and there to hold me over until my follow-up appointment, but honestly, I’m pretty hesitant about taking them since I’m only 17. I guess I just don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice or even just some thoughts on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much in advance! 🙂
Hey everyone, I’m 17 and I’ve been struggling with drug use, so I’ve started seeing a psychiatrist to help me get clean. It’s been a wild ride—everything from candy and MDMA to amphetamines and various antidepressants (like Ativan, Valium, and others). At first, they put me on 5 mg of diazepam, 1 mg of Risperdal, and 100 mg of Zoloft... but man, that combo just didn't work for me. I felt totally drugged out all day long, probably because of the diazepam. My doctor eventually switched things up. Now I'm taking 12.5 mg of Coaxil twice a day, 3 mg of Lexapro once or maybe twice a day, and 2 mg of Risperdal every night. Honestly? I think this new routine is actually working. I’ve been on it for over a month now, and I’ve been totally sober during that whole time. I haven't touched weed or anything else. I guess I was wondering if Lexapro or Coaxil can be addictive? Also, since my parents are away at work a lot, I'm usually the one heading to all these appointments by myself. My psychiatrist isn't great at explaining exactly what each pill does or how long it takes to kick in, so I'm feeling a bit lost. If anyone has some insight or advice, I’d really appreciate it! 🙂
