I'm seeing him today and will ask about this.
I usually space out the three meds that I'm on because I've learned that taking them too close together causes either upset stomach, anxiety/racing heart beat, or dizziness. Funny because when I look up the combination of meds I'm on, there are no noted drug interactions but I know from experience that I can't take all three at or around the same time. So a missed dose becomes a tricky issue to deal with.
I don't know why anyone would scoff at another person's concerns regarding their medication. While I understand that lay people or people without MH issues have a hard time putting themselves in our shoes, it's not so hard to understand. Would you scoff at a diabetic who expresses concern over the possibility of not getting access to insulin? Sorry for the mini rant, it's just that I've come to understand my diagnosis's as being a true illness, not a character flaw. My brain isn't operating they way a brain should and so I have to take medication. No different than the diabetic with a faulty pancreas.
