Confused about my meds

Hi @Former-Member I totally understand what you’re saying. I’m like that at times. But for me it’s like I sabotage myself.

I have previously stopped and started. The last time I stopped I ended up in hospital.

I now have a Webster pack done st the pharmacy where all my meds are put in a pack for every day of the week.

Thst way I know exactly what day I’m up to.

Hope this helps you.

Take care ❤️

I got new meds for some physical stuff on top of my psych meds and it scares me when I see all the pills. And they changed my medication times. I find it all really complicated at the moment and I don’t want to take anything. I’ve stopped meds for the physical stuff and been messy with my psych meds. I’ve just taken my night meds. Hopefully all will be clearer in the morning 😕

I am very careful about any reductions @Former-Member I set up whole week and I do not change much .... maybe only after 3 months .... of being stable .... with discussion with doctors.

It all depends on how life has been going. For ages I was going up .... but lately I have turned a corner.

Take Good Care

Meds are not everything, but best be treated wisely.

Hi @Appleblossom @MDT @BlueBay

I still feel as confused about my meds. I've done my weekly box and put all my psych meds I need in it. I just don't know. It's been a while that I've been that confused about meds. I think it's because I've been really struggling with a lot more anxiety. I feel a bit spaced out and I don't know what to do. I've been told ages ago that I'm stuck and lately that I might be treatment resistant and that's really scary. I actually don't know what that would mean. What would happen if I'm treatment resistant? Would everyone just leave and I have to battle it out on my own. I'm tired, really tired of this life.

Hi @MDT

Thank you for the explanation. I’m worried that I’ll be handed over to other people because I’m just too difficult and I don’t think I can go through that.

Im feeling low and flat and numb, I don’t want to get out of bed. Someone’s coming to visit today, but I’ll just stay in bed until they get here. I want to look happy and make them feel welcome as they’re making the effort to come here, I just haven’t got the energy

@MDT

I can’t start with a new team. I will never go through my history with anyone again. If they suggest a new team, I won’t go. I can’t do this.

Thanks for the definition @MDT, it doesn't necessarily mean you personally are against treatment @Former-Member, it can mean that your body isn't responding to the meds as expected. Think about "treatment-resistant strains of physical illnesses", it just means it takes a little bit extra, or another method of treatment to fix.

Do you have anything good planned for the rest of the day? Make sure you are looking after yourself whilst you go through this unsure time. Getting your meds made up in Webster packs like @BlueBay mentioned, may be a good idea as you're not responsible for separating into the week yourself.
