No, I've been on them and stable for varying years, my latest med change being last summer, and overall being on meds for bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, and depression; gradually since I was 18, so for about 10 years. Also got diagnosed recently with ADD but there's not a med I can take so far that doesn't interfere with the other issues I have and stuff I'm on--I'd rather the bipolar be the first focus, anyway. Probably gonna spell some of these wrong, but I'm on Alprazolam (Xanax), Pramipexole, Caplyta, Trazodone, Dezvenlefaxine, Oxcarbazepine, and Lamotragine--plus one antihistamine, Cetrizine. Oxcarbazepine is the one I got onto last summer for my bipolar mania.
