> I welcome you to rate all the psychotropic drugs which you took in the past or are taking in the present. A short explanation of your experience with the drug(s) would be helpful, so that we better understand your rating.

> Rating Scale is from 0 to 5... "zero" being the worst, "five" being the best.0 - paroxetine
0 - risperidone
2 - fluoxetine
3 - reboxetine -- it helped, hence 3, but < 0 if you consider the persistent depersonalisation it left me with
4 - methylphenidate
3 - selegiline, 4 at peak
3 - phenylethylamine, peak 5, < 0 if you consider neurotoxicity
0 - mirtazapine
1 - sertraline
1 - escitalopram
4 - buprenorphine
5 - buprenorphine+methylphenidate
3 - guanfacine
2 - low dose lithium
1 - duloxetine
1 - atomoxetine, peak 2
1 - aripiprazole, at best
0 - quetiapine
2 - flupenthixol, at best
1 - olanzapine, peak 2 or 3, lasting effect 0
3 - sulpiride, peak 5, lasting effect 0
2 - amisulpride, no peak due to sulpiride tolerance
3 - pramipexole, peak 5, lasting effect 0
2 - biperiden, peak maybe 3
0 - clozapine, due to side-effects
2 - cariprazine, at best
3 - trimipramine, maybe 4 -- still evaluating currently
4 - memantine, 5 peak, lower due to dangerous manic state
1 - piracetam
2 - aniracetam
1 - lamotrigine
2 - bisoprolol
3 - codeine, peak 5, lasting effect 0
3 - midazolam, for its intended purpose (insomnia)
2 - zolpidem, see above
1 - temazepam
0 - clonazepam -- catastrophic impulsiveness
1 - oxazepam -- no effect
1 - zopiclone -- no effect
1 - bupropion -- no effectEven the above is an abbreviation of my experience.
Some of them were difficult to rate on the available scale. I rated some as 1 purely for a lack of adverse effects. Some were rated higher only because they were better than a similar drug rated lower.
Most of these agents were used for depression-related symptoms, chiefly apathy, but some were effective for cognitive impairment. Some of them were for tachycardia or light hypertension. Codeine was for cough but it totally surprised me with a light but pleasant morphine high, which included muscular relaxation and total anxiolysis.
