Reagan Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Once we took Reagan out of the hospital and tapered off all the meds (with a psychiatrist's guidance) she returned back to normal. She had an adverse reaction to Zoloft and our mistake was taking her to an ER in the middle of a snowstorm having no idea what was happening and taking their advice to go to a behavior hospital. Once she was taken to the behavior hospital, they put her on several meds. It sucked but I hope this information helps someone else from making the same mistakes. 1 February 17, 2021- March 4, 2021 - 150 MG Trazadone (bedtime as needed) February 17, 2021 - March 4, 202 - 120 MG Propranolol 2x a day, as needed for heart February 17, 2021 - March 4, 2021 - 80 MG Latuda 1x day/dinner February 17, 2021 - March 4, 2021 - 300 MG Lithium 3x/day NEW HOSPITAL March 4– April 1st - Lorazepam - 1 MG 3x day, April 12th, 2021 – current - Lorazepam (Ativan)- .5 MG 3x dayMarch 4– April 1st - Quetiapine - 300 mg - bedtime, April 12th, 2021 – currentMarch 4– April 1st - Divalproex 250 mg - 1 - morning and 500 mg/night, April 12th, 2021 – current - decreased to 500 mg bedtimeMarch 4– April 1st - Mirtazapine 15 MG/bedtime STOPPED April 8th March 4– April 1st - Quetiapine - 50 MG 2x day, STOPPED April 8th Link to comment
Ariel Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 @Reagan Thanks for the update! So glad to hear that Reagan has recovered. How long did it take Reagan to heal after tapering off of the meds? Would you consider writing a success story for our recovery forum? We have a lot of members who would be greatly encouraged and find hope in reading Reagan's story.
