kerrip Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi all I need to start tracking my symptoms and medication and progress much more thoroughly. Are there any smart phone apps that work really well for this purpose? If not I can use Excel but it would be very convenient to have a smart phone app as I normally don't sit down at the computer much during the weekend. On 20 mg Celexa for 7 years for insomnia and GAD Tapered from 20 mg to 0 from Aug 2011 to Dec 2nd 2011 Used Xanax intermittently over the past 7 years, and through WD. Started 50 mgs Trazodone in June but am starting to taper off due to bad eye twitching, suspected Trazodone is the cause. Went to 25 mg in October and then 12.5 in December and then 0mg on Dec 20th. Reinstated citalopram at 10 mgs on Nov 26th, then up to 20 mgs on Dec 3rd. Started kindling reaction on Dec 10th. Decided a very quick taper to 10 mgs for a 2 days and then 5mgs for a 2 more. Holding at 2.5 mg and beginning to stabilize. Reinstated trazodone to 12.5 mgs.

alexjuice Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 It'd be a great app to create. I don't know how to create an app but maybe someone on the forum does?

kerrip Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 I downloaded a random "health" tracker that allows me to enter in my meds and supplements and keep a daily diary. I think it is ok so far. On 20 mg Celexa for 7 years for insomnia and GAD Tapered from 20 mg to 0 from Aug 2011 to Dec 2nd 2011 Used Xanax intermittently over the past 7 years, and through WD.
