Jaem: Which medicine should I stop first?

[Jaem]

Hello, I have been taking antidepressants for about 7 years for generalized anxiety and depression. I have been through several antidepressants without remembering how long each one was for as my memory is not good. I feel that the medication has never made me feel very good and I don't know what to do, once I stopped it but I wasn't able to and I take it again. I have taken escitalopram, urbadan, sertraline, bupropion, cymbalta, clonazepam, pristiq, and lamictal. Today I am taking 2 drops of clonazepam at night, 25 mg lamictal in the morning and 25 mg of pristiq in the morning but it is a 100 mg divided into 4. I have had many symptoms for 7 years and I do not know if it is anxiety and depression or medication, or medication changes etc... A month ago I was on 50 pristiq and I went down to 25 because it made me very tired.

Please format your daily notes as shown above.

 

How long have you been taking half a desvenlafaxine tablet (25mg)?

 

What effect does clonazepam have on you?

 

When did you start taking 25mg lamotrigine per day, and why?

 

Are you taking drugs for hypothyroidism? How was this diagnosed? 

 

This is a site for going off psychiatric drugs, is that what you want to do?

Hello, I have been taking 25mg desvenlafaxine for 3 and a half months. I take eutirox for hopothyroidism and I was diagnosed with blood tests, tah and antibodies. I take lamictal for going from anxiety to depression and vice versa, as well as disorientation. Yes, I want to quit paichiatric drugs.

[Altostrata]

What are you taking 25mg lamotrigine with 25mg desvenlafaxine in the morning? How long have you been taking 25mg lamotrigine at 9 a.m.?

 

Your signature says you have been taking 5mg lamotrigine. Should this be 25mg?

 

After you cut the Pristiq tablet in half on September 5, how did your symptom pattern change?

 

How do you feel before you take desvenlafaxine and lamotrigine in the morning, compared to how you feel after you take desvenlafaxine and lamotrigine in the morning?

¿Qué estás tomando 25 mg de lamotrigina con 25 mg de desvenlafaxina por la mañana? ¿Cuánto tiempo ha estado tomando 25 mg de lamotrigina a las 9 am?

 

Su firma dice que ha estado tomando 5 mg de lamotrigina. ¿Debería ser de 25 mg?

 

Después de que partió la tableta de Pristiq por la mitad el 5 de septiembre, ¿cómo cambió su patrón de síntomas?

 

¿Cómo se siente antes de tomar desvenlafaxina y lamotrigina por la mañana, en comparación con cómo se siente después de tomar desvenlafaxina y lamotrigina por la mañana?

I take desvelafaxine and lamictal together because my psychiatrist told me to. 
I have been taking lamotrigine for 10 months.

yes, it is 25mg
 

My symptoms are the same before taking the medication and after taking it and also the same since I split the pill in two. At the time I make the change I have symptoms, but all these if you take chronic ones are always. I have dysautonomia and I suspect that is what has me so bad.

[Altostrata]

When did you develop dysautonomia?

 

As requested before, please post 24 hours of symptom notes at a time in this topic, in a simple list format with time o’clock on the left and notation (symptom or drug and dosage) on the right. Please include your sleep pattern.

[Jaem]

Approximately two years ago, since nothing stopped my chronic poor health, they did the tilt test and it was positive.

[Altostrata]

What combination of drugs were you taking when you developed dysautonomia?

[Jaem]

I don't know when I developed dysautonomia, it was discovered in November 2020, but I had had symptoms for a long time. at this time he was taking eutirox, fluoxetine and clonazepam. (I don't remember the amounts)
