So Indecisive!!! What would you do?!?!?!

Question

|The last month or so I have become so indecisive that I probably wouldn't be able to save my life .. if it came down to picking!

I stopped taking the medication for anxiety/depression in about May because of the end of school and beginning summer basically and I was drinking more and needed to be able to stay up past 10 o'clock at night without feeling overtired. For the last month, things have gotten really bad again . Not sleeping, irritability, isolating myself etc. Ive been debating just taking the medication again that was left over but my friend asked me to go back and talk to my dr. I'm worried with talking to her because of stopping with her permission or help. I was on 150 mg and went to zero by myself. What would you do if you were in my shoes

Answer 1

Sweetie... just because school ended isn't a reason to stop your medicine... you need to get to your Dr soon as possible and get back on them.  you were yon them for a reason and you could have set yourself up for many health problems by just stopping on your own that way, SO DANGEROUS. Talk to your friend tell her you made a mistake and stopped your medicine and to understand it was a mistake you made. If she doesn't understand then she is not a true friend. A true Friend will find their time better spent worth helping you to resolve the problem then complaining about something you did that she can't change now. The only permission you need to start or stop taking medicine is your Dr's. You really need to get back on those meds. It is really the only choice that is a smart one Sweetie. Do what you know id right! Hugs

Answer 2

Don't worry, your doctor will understand. And if they don't, just find a doctor who actually listens! It sounds like you're pretty miserable without a solution, so I would just get it over with if I were you.

Answer 3

Talk to your doc, if you made the choice to balance your lifestyle with your meds it looks like it isnt working for you so maybe the doc can suggest another or lower dose med.

Or just get your scrip refilled and continue, forget that you skipped some cause now you know better.

Answer 4

If the medication helped you in the past you should really try going on it again, otherwise talk to your doctor about a different kind of medication you can try.  I've stopped my depression/anxiety like 6 times in the past year and it wasn't a problem for your doctor.  I'm sure he/she will understand that you are just trying to figure out what is best for you or what you want to do.  Remember it is your choice to take medication, but it really could help.
