What meds do you take?
« on: April 22, 2012, 03:36:08 AM »
Enquiring minds what to know...


For fairness here's what I take;

Morning
Progynova (estradiol) - Cycled dose.
Spironolactone 100mg
Vitamin D
Vitamin B Complex
Teenage Women's Multivitamin (it makes me laugh I take this, but I take it because, hormonally I am a teenage woman)
Lithium Carbonate 375mg

Evening
Progynova (estradiol) - Cycled dose.
Spironolactone 150mg
Seroquel - 50mg
Lithium Carbonate 375mg

My estrogen dose is cycled, so one week of 2mg, the next week would be 4mg, the next 6mg, and then next 4mg, and then start over again. Roughly simulates the estrogen cycle of natal-women.

 I take Strattera (120 mg) and a multivitamin every morning.  :thumbup:

Oxycontin-40mg/bd
oxynorm (instant release oxycodone) 1x10mg QDS
fexofenadine-1x120mg once, sometimes BD)
xylometazoline spray/drops (whenever needed)
tizanidine-(2x2mg/QDS)
chlormethiazole-(1x120mg/d)
gaviscon-(whenever)
pregabalin-(1x100mg/TDS)
loprazolam (wierd benzo not stocked either in hospitals, or most pharmacies)
nitrazepam-(5mg/D)
Indomethacin (antiinflammatory) 1x50mg/TDS)

Hence the title 'pharmaceutical dustbin) :P


I don't take the benzos daily, or the chlormethiazole, as I do NOT want to become dependent on GABA agonist meds, rather I sometimes take the higher doses needed to KO me than I get for daily use, occasionally)

I don't take any meds unless it is absolutely necessary.

The oxycontin and oxynorm (instant release oxycodone) because my knee is fucked, and has taken my hip with it, likewise with the indomethacin (a strong NSAID), tizanidine prevents overloads from happening, and will stop one in its tracks if it does happen. Good sleep aid too. Better than the benzos, I'm pretty insensitive to most benzos, and have a paradoxical reaction to a couple of them.

That said, I would MUCH rather be on either clonidine or lofexidine than tizanidine, seeing as how the latter has such a short half life.

The chlormethiazole works ok though. Fexofenadine is a non-sedating antihistamine (I react badly to sedating ones), opioids cause itching. As for the xylometazoline, its a locally acting alpha2 adrenoreceptor antagonist, tizanidine would otherwise cause nasal congestion, so the point there is to block its action locally, leaving it to do its thing in the CNS.

Just melatonin at night.

I have Xanax in case I get a bad panic attack but 8 pills will last me over 6 months.

 A friend of mine used to take melatonin to help her sleep, and she said it gave her
 trippy dreams!  Does it do that for you too?  I'm curious about it lately.  :apondering:

if i take it every night for about 3 months, it will. So I got off of for a few weeks and then start back up when my sleep gets crappy. I'm good again for about another 3 months.

Possibly unrelated, but Seroquel gives me trippy trippy dreams...
