Never go cold turkey with any med, ever...any kind of med!!!

I know that some of my Parkinson's disease peers have done this and a few have ended up in the hospital.

If I miss/skip a day...usually because I am in a hurry...I am in tears most of the day...am I dependent or what!! Right now I am that way with meds, so tomorrow I will be calling my psychiatrist to up my meds or make a change.

I do find it sad that anyone has to take a pill to feel even remotely normal...well, like the general population that is.
