Okay, no more of this crap. I want to empty my body of all these chemicals and start over. Two+ years ago I sank into a horrible depression and was hospitalized three times, treated by 5 different doctors while hospitalized and by my pdoc outside of the hospital. And now of all things, my pdoc accuses me of taking too much klonopin (what she subscribed) because I am an addict.
I know it is a huge risk, but I want to clear my body of the meds to get to my true state -- I may land in the hospital, but at least we will know if I am just a depressive, or bipolar, or have an anxiety disorder, or what. I am confused as to what is for real or what is med induced.
So for the thousandth time, I am seeking help from you guys. Please help. I really need it. My current cocktail:
600mg/600mg lithium
50mg/50mg topamax
75 Effexor xr
200 mg/200mg Seroquel
50-150 prn of Trazadone.I'm not worried about coming off the trazadone cold turkey. I know I am going to have problems with the effexor, so I think I will save that for last. Any suggestions on how I handle the lithium, topamax and seroquel -- how to titrate down?
Please, this is really important. I hate to beg, but I really need some advice.
