> Wow, quite a cocktail...I am always nervous to take any new meds let alone several...it's encouraging to read about success stories like yours...there's hope...and your success is well earned...I realize how hard we all are trying to get the chemicals in our brains pinging correctly. Would you mind sharing the dosages of each of your meds? I am currently taking Geodon and the much maligned Effexor and I am one happy camper...so far...can't quite get my concentration level up though...anyway, RIGHT ON and GOOD for YOU!!! Best success!!!

>say ritalin SR 40 mg tid when i am working (ritalin SR is much weaker than regular ritalin), parnate 20 mg bid, clonazepam 2 mg bid, abilify 3.75 mg once daily and an additional 2 mg lorazepam if i am going to be around cute girls ;)
