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.

When I was pregnant I had to be on BP meds. Does your thyroid medication help with any mental ailments? I have read studies that it helps with depression but I've never met someone who it's helped.

Levo is what I read the study on. I guess it's better than negative side effects!

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:
