Presley Gerber Outlines Mental-Health Meds and Sobriety in Instagram Update

He says inconsistent psychiatric advice has left him seeking clearer direction due to withdrawal risks.

Overview

  • Gerber, 26, posted a video detailing his current regimen, naming buprenorphine, Xanax and Valium for panic attacks.
  • He specified buprenorphine at 1 mg twice daily, uses Xanax during severe episodes, and varies a morning Valium dose.
  • He said he recently increased mirtazapine from 15 mg to 22.5 mg and takes prazosin to address frequent night terrors.
  • He described receiving divergent guidance from about 15 psychiatrists and a lack of clear, prescriptive dosing instructions.
  • He linked recent personal losses to his symptoms, reported months of alcohol sobriety, and is leaning on exercise, sauna and baths while seeking a supportive community.
