I was taking anti depressants and sedatives.I stopped taking them a couple of weeks ago,after they were causing my anxiety to increase.
 
I have an 'emergency supply' of Ativan for when my anxiety attacks go through the roof. I take them in extreme circumstances and when I'm in airplanes (I hate long flights, they make me really anxious).

I have a handful of prescriptions for antidepressants stuffed in a drawer in my room. I have not filled any of them. So far I've preferred alternative methods (e.g. exercise, diet, vitamins/supplements). Still waiting for the depression to lift. Thankfully I find it pretty manageable, some days are worse than others.
 
I take Lamictal 600 mg, Prazosin 2 mg, Clonazepam 2 mg, Zanaflex 4 mg, and the occasional Lorazepam 1mg (usually prior to exposure therapy sessions.
 
The question on the poll was, " how many medications do you take? " I answered 1-2, but then that list says for PTSD! I don't take any for PTSD but you can't change your answer so I skewed the results! SORRY :sour:
