[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 587238, member: 1514"] Heavens....medications? I dont know if I can remember them all especially if you want me to include the kids. I think I first got prozac back in the mid 90's because I was so stressed out over the kids, work and my mom and it was simply awful. It made me feel like I was wearing a plastic mask over my face and couldnt feel anything. I didnt take it long at all. Then in 99 a therapist suggested that I ask my family doctor to put me on I believe the medication was called Serzone. OMG. It was newer AD that was supposed to be better because it didnt have the problem with decreasing libido. Well, let me tell ya, I found out quick I was bipolar to the nth degree because I went on a manic trip...better known as Mr Toads Wild Ride but I wasnt at Disney. About a week after I started taking it I stopped sleeping and I became so hypersexual that I was stalking sex chatrooms on the internet. I was working full time and not sleeping at night while I chatted with strangers on the internet having cyber sex. Eventually I planned this hook up out of state with one. I couldnt even think straight. I actually planned to leave right after Tony left for work in the morning. This was an awful plan because I actually passed him on the interstate! This almost broke up our relationship. I came home and confessed all...almost. Went to the doctor and told them these medications were killing me and they took me off them and sent me to a psychiatrist. I was off medications for several months after that because I was scared. Next I went on neurontin because they said it would help both the bipolar and the fibro. By that time we had discovered the fibro. I was just on the neurontin for about a year or so. I called it my six shots of tequila medicine. Every time I started it or increased it I felt like I took six shots of tequila. Odd it doesnt effect me that way now. Eventually I gave up the neurontin to start topamax and wellbutrin which was a very good combo for me for a long time. In 03, I added ativan and lamictal came in probably somewhere around 01 maybe.
