A Slave to Medications
I have stated here a couple of times now about my mental illness and how it has changed my life forever. Before you read any further I haven't had a great day, but that doesn't make how I feel about medications change. As the header suggested I feel at times I am a slave to my medications, not only having to take them twice a day, but also remember to get scripts when I see the doctors then get those scripts filled. Remember to get new scripts when meds get low, and all the running around that is involved in it. Every moment of every day is Dependant on the medications. Failure to take them is not an option, even reducing them down below the doses I have now bring about nasty nasty side effects that I simply cannot cope with. But its more than that. Its this nagging feeling that I know I am addicted to at least 2 medications probably more. It makes me feel cheap, like some 2 dollar junkie. I worry about withdrawals. I have had serious withdrawals ...
