it took me about a year to be sure about how the meds were effecting me.
i am 100% sure now. it would be harmful to me if i decided on taking any random psychiatric med.i have had too many severe mood changes while taking these meds for it to be a coincidence. i dont have severe changes in my emotions or mood any time when im not taking medication.
the worst meds i took were adderall, effexor and mirapex. and a med called cyproheptadine helped alot with what adderall did to me. and then i ended up trying mirapex and it did the same after about a month of taking it. adderall messed meup after a month, too. and the cyproheptadine once again helped me quite a bit.. but not enough.
effexor actually gave me tardive dyskinesia. when i was taking it and the muscles in my face just started moving, i didnt think it could be tardive dyskinesia. i figured that only antipsychotics could cause that. it also made my moods very sensitive to the foods i eat while at the same time making what emotions i had very numb.
adderall made me feel stimulated for a few weeks until it seemingly turned off my braind own dopamine production. i think cyproheptadines 5ht2c antagonism fixed this.
and more recently, mirapex seems to have done the same thing adderall did. and this time cyproheptadine helped.. but nt nearly enough this time.
