Tired of meds- which to try to switch to

Posted by Mandy on July 2, 2005, at 12:28:08

I am so tired of being medicated. I take Wellbutin SR 150 mg, Lamictal 300mg, Lexapro 10mg and Klonopin 1-2mg and Ambien at night sometimes and Soma for fibro. But lately I have started to have dark thoughts again and I just do not know what is working and what is not. I would like to go back to plain old prozac that I was on for 8 years before everyone started "tinkering around". But how long do I have to taper meds I am on. Can I suggest to psych that I just cold turkey and change? And is prozac the right one to change to. I know I probably have to stay on the Lamictal. They think I am bipolar--the type that is mostly depression with hypomania. Also, I have headaches every morning. I just wish I could be med free but when I say this, my husband freaks out. Another problem I have is that at least once a week I "crash and burn" and hardly get out of bed or function. Rest of week I can work and seem somewhat normal
