I also take a ton of meds. 5 for psych issues and 3 for other health conditions.
I am better on them but about 80%. But I do take them religiously because of the fear of how bad I was without them. Also some of them have withdrawal effects if you stop suddenly (like Pristiq) and I have been there done that and no thanks! That was awful.
My doctor has pointed out that it is like a diabetic who needs insulin to survive and be balanced, I need these meds to be balanced.
I take 450mg Welbutrin for mood stability. 13 other meds daily for other issue.
A ton...I haven't cried in a year...
I'm on too many to remember. I don't let that stop me from taking them. After all, I would do anything to get better.
