People of Bluelight, what medications do you take? And what do you take them for? Are you prescribed them, or do you get them elsewhere?

I know for a fact I'm not the only crazy kook on this board who's on meds...

For me, I take 300mg Gabapentin (Neurontin) 3X daily for anxiety and as a mood stabilizer (total of 900mg per day). I was originally prescribed 2700mg daily for dealing with the aftereffects of coming off of benzos, which I took daily for about 3 years. I was successfully able to taper off of benzos using diazepam but the PAWS were absolute hell and seemed like they would never end. I tapered my way down from 2700mg to 900mg, and while I might taper farther I'm pretty happy with this dose. I'm comfortable on it, and I don't really want to rock that boat. As far as helping my anxiety and mood, it's been an absolute miracle.

I'm also prescribed 150mg Nuvigil (Armodafinil) daily for ADHD but truthfully I only take it once or twice a week. Maybe three times if I have a lot of work to do but I don't always take the full 150mg either. I like the stuff but I'm taking it very carefully, I don't think the long term effects are well known and psychological addiction has definitely been reported. But all evidence seems to suggest that Armodafinil (and Modafinil and the like) are safer alternatives to amphetamines and other stims commonly prescribed for ADHD. I was prescribed Adderall and Dexedrine for years but I stopped taking them because I didn't like the side effects. To me this contains all the benefits I was looking for when I first started taking stims (increased focus, concentration, productivity) without the negative side effects (jaw clenching, muscle tension, anxiety, the dreaded crash, etc.) It helps a lot on days where I have a lot of work to get done, but I want to make sure to not become dependent on it.

So TL;DR 900mg Gabapentin (300mgX3 daily) and 150mg Armodafinil (1-3X weekly as needed) oh and I smoke cannabis every night because fuck yeah weed (pretty stoned right now lol)
 
my daily bipolar+anxiety meds hooray

Seroquel (quetiapine) 300mg
Lamictal (lamotrigine) 200mg
Prozac (fluoxetine) 10mg
Inderal (propranolol) 20mg x3
Klonopin (clonazepam) 0.5mg x2
Multivitamin
B-Complex Supplement
 
Vyvanse 60 mg
Amphetamine salts (adderall IR's) 20mg as a booster for Vyvanse
occasionally xanax/klonopin for the amphetamine induced insomnia
 
Usually just Suboxone and a low dose of benzo's(benzo's not precribed) if I have them...use to take way too many benzo's with it, ended up running out and felt not right at all for a month... But ya, just my Subs for the most part(have been taking 8mg for the longest, but prescribed 16mg a day), but sometimes go on vacations from them, such as now... I've been lowering my Sub dose and after I get done with this vaycay I'm going to start taking 4mg and try to get down to only 2mg a day in a short period of time, honestly think I can start taking 1.5 mg twice a day and go from there, will get more of the nor-bupe metabolite so kinda looking forward to it. I know it's not gonna fuck me up at all which is not what I'm looking for, but it would be nice to feel my dose a little bit, but don't know if that's even possible after being on the higher doses for so long(a little over a year and a half)
 
I get 300mg diazepam monthly always have some left over

I'd like a script for weed just because I'd feel like I'm in the future
 
Scripted meds :-
600mg Sodium Valproate x 2 daily
250mg Naproxen x 3 daily
15mg Lansoprazole x 1 daily
60mg Dihydrocodeine 4 x daily (Now this is where things start to go wrong, after getting a ridiculous habit through taking high doses just for fun it got to the point where my script never lasted the duration, just about getting a handle on it though and trying my hardest to stick to the prescribed dose, or less)
5mg Oxynorm to be taken as and when necessary
1mg Lorazepam to be taken as and when also.
And finally the most fun items on my prescription 8)
6mg Sumatriptan injections to use for cluster headaches
120mg Verapamil 3 x daily for cluster headaches also (luckily I'm not going through a cycle atm so hopefully won't have to use these last 2 meds again for a while yet)

So so glad I have a medical exemption certificate which means I don't have to pay for my prescriptions (about the only silver lining to being epileptic lol) I'd be spending an absolute fortune every month on scripts otherwise.

Then there's the odd treat with different benzos I get from different sources.

Thanks for that, I have actually looked into mushrooms as a treatment for cluster headaches but not in any kind of depth. The meds I do have manage the condition but shrooms would be a much more fun alternative. Hmmmm might have to get some Mexican Cubensis on the grow and save them for when I next start a cycle of attacks, I'd say that's a perfectly legitimate reason to be getting buckled, all in the name of medical research ;)=D
 
Prescribed:
600mg x4 gabapentin
150mg x2 lyrica
25mg quietapine (at night)

I dont take any of those as prescribed. Some days I take no gaba or lyrica, when I do I take a shit ton at a time. I also take 100-200mg diphen throughout the day every now and then as tolerance.... To all 3 of those!!... Is a bitch.
 
How the heck are u prescribed both lyrica n gabapentin isn't one a prodrug of the other or am I stupid.

Well, to be honest im not quite sure that my dr is aware I am getting both of these filled each month. H wrote me my last gaba script w 11 refills, 1 refill in I made an appt & I asked about me trying out lyrica. He eventually agreed & wrote me the script. The next month I asked for the next strength in capsules, got those. Im guessing after my 11 refills he will find out, lol. Ooohhh well. ;)
