My friend thinks I take tons of meds and tells others what I take. Sigh.

I sat down with her and explained to her that yea, I take a few meds, but they all have different effects and the dosages are small. One med I even take half a child's starting dosage. I'm pretty sure she will forget and think I'm chomping down meds like crazy.

Many people who take psych meds have been through a lot and it might be a last try in getting better. No one should be punished for that. More people take blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds not knowing what they do, if they need them, if they do any good, if there are side effects. Just the doc told them and they accepted. For some reason it is not socially acceptable to be on someone's case for those meds... but psych meds, yea, fair game...
