Topic Tuesday // Managing side effects of medication // Tues. 17 Apr. 7pm - 9pm AEST

During this Topic Tuesday we will be tackling managing some of the side effects that medication cause.

We will be sharing the side effects that impact day to day lives and how you manage these and helpful tips and tricks you have found to get through a side effect.

I'm new here - what is Topic Tuesday?

Topic Tuesday runs from 7pm - 9pm AEST monthly. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator. Sometimes Topic Tuesday will feature a special guest, who is an expert in the topic.

The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.

How do I get involved?

Topic Tuesday takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.

If you have any questions about how to use the Forums, check out our Guides.

Totally understand this but most people in the community don't & I really wish they did.

My partner was also put on vitamins, not sure why for one of them but vitamin D deficiency was another side effect so takes a supplement for that.

Mood stabilizers & anti psychotics have so many side effects. The weight gain, dizziness, light sensitivity, short term memory loss. It's so unfair.

@Peregrine - it's not fair at all. I wish I didn't have this illness and I wish I had all those years to live again as I'd make different choices with what I know now.

I've come to accept that I have to keep trying one day at a time. Don't look too far into the future, don't think of all the regrets, just one foot in front of the other
