ok, well i havent been on my meds thaaaat long, but im wondering about the long-term effects on my body/ mental state.
at the moment i'm on:
venlafaxine - anti-depressant
olanzapine - anti-psychotic
chlorpromazine- anti-psychotic
lorazepam - tranquiliser
i've been on the anti-psychotics and tranquilisers for about 2 years now and the anti-ds for about 6 months.
one thing i've noticed is that when i dont take my meds i stay awake all night, i cant sleep without them, and (womens stuff) i haven't had a period for over a year and a half. the dr said that can be a side-effect of the anti-psychotics but its kinda worrying.
any opinions would be greatly appreciated. xxx
