I was recently diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and am now on a CPAP machine. The excess cloudiness in my head, the forgetfulness, the ADHD-esque traits that weren't responding to my medications has mostly cleared up and I finally have energy!!
I go see my pdoc tomorrow and am thinking about weaning myself off my antidepressants, one at a time. I'm feeling fine, but I'm worried that my current cocktail is what's causing the great feeling and coming off them will be a disaster... isn't that normally how it works?
I'm currently on Adderall (30mg), Abilify (5mg), Zoloft (150mg), Trazadone (150mg).
I'm going to try and come off the Abilify first. The heat sensitivity and weight gain associated with it are making my life more than difficult. I can't do hardly anything when the weather starts warming up. I've already had heat exhaustion twice before, so my tolerance is crap anyway.
I'm going to repeat myself here, but it's really a huge fear of mine... what if the meds are what's making my life so much more stable and great now? What if I'm doing the classic "I feel better so I don't want to take my meds anymore"?? It's kind of turning my stomach into knots- knowing I might be about to make a huge mistake.
