“Top 20 Psychiatric Prescriptions in 2005”

Interesting. I’ve taken 4 out of the 20. Wellbutrin was probably the one with the least side effects. Celexa made me so sleepy that I’d have to take a 15 minute nap after every 30 minutes of driving. Buspar made me dizzy. Zyprexa made me fat–well, fatter. I lost 20 pounds in the first month after I went off of it. But it seemed to leave a lasting positive effect. I received Zyprexa for major clinical depression, even though it’s an anti-psychotic, because my shrink was desperate. Currently, I’m drug-free (using exercise instead of drugs).
