Never go without your meds

I keep messing up. I let my rxs go without refill. It has to stop. I’m out of effexor and depressed as all hell. It’s rainy here. From here on out I’m making sure I have every med I need. So don’t do what I’ve done to yourself. Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks roxanna. That’s good advice. I normally do my best to take all my meds.

I know how your feeling. I had to call my refill in on my invega and they had to order it, this was Saturday… Ugh it will be Wednesday before I get it.

I’ve been without my Valium a couple of times and experienced psychosis mood swings not just anxiety and the withdrawal period seemed endless. Now I’m only on 2 mg and my pdoc said I could one day take it as a prn only. I don’t know: should I try this? I had a doctor once say it was bad for your body to be on a benzo long term. Ever heard that?

I think it depends on the Dr and the situation. I’ve been on them for 12 years.

If I go just one day without Seroquel, I’ll go withdrawal: slight stomach pain, generally weak lethargic thing. Go back on Seroquel, sleep well and then wake up feeling superb. Superb.

You can go to whatever Pharmacy you go to and pick up a supply, in-person. Mine prefers to mail the re-fills. But for a full year, I picked up re-fills in-person because, for some reason, the mail service kept returning to sender due to zip code confusion, I guess.

Same. I always take my meds no matter how expensive they are.
