Issues with meds

Posted by SheilaC on October 17, 2010, at 16:42:04

I am having some issues I am afraid with my meds.

I have taken klonopin forever (5 years or more). Currently, I take 1mg in the evening, and to tell you the truth, I don't really feel it. I took 1.5 mg. the other night and felt pretty darn good. Maybe I should be tapering down if I'm not feeling anything from it anymore?

I also take 60mg of Geodon. It seems to help with my mood and can sometimes make me sleepy (I take it at night as well).

I suspect the real problem is with Adderall. I love the up feeling I get. I love the energy and focus and the motivation. I have been working out, getting organized, etc. But I think the down side is that it can make me a little irritable with the smallest things. And on the weekend if I don't take it, I feel depressed and more irritable.

I think Adderall has some antidepressant effects for me, but I am beginning to wonder if I should be taking this drug?

I need to get rid of the irritability, not enhance it and I am afraid the Adderall could be causing irritability and possibly some mood instability?

What do you think?

I hate to give up the Adderall and the up feeling, but I have to stop these feelings.
