I originally had a horrible time taking medication. Anything from the shape of the pill, time of day i have to take it, to it's positive or negitive side effects. The first psychiatrist i couldnt explain why, my second psychiatrist along with my therapist helped narrow the real resions why. I dont take most of my prescribed medication for my phisical issues but I've worked with my therapist and dr to make a mostly working meds and routeine to keep me on meds. My therapist works very hard when any medication changes are needed. First to get me to accept i need changes, then to ask for those changes, then to take the meds.
That's not to say im any good at it I miss about 5 days a month on adverage. My prn is only used in cases that i should have been hospitalized long ago. Here's the thing some meds are very dangours going on and off of, some have short half lives, some take a long time to get into your system but because of your inability to properly take meds meds that have these qualities should not be on your list of.things to try. Go to the dr and be honest. Get a therapist to help you.
Your looking for safe, long acting medication, that is fast acting. Unfortainally injectables may be your anwser. Or your doctor maybe like mine who found a drug that's withdraw starts out so uncomfertable that you have to take it as soon as it starts. The things you listed aren't no reason. Have you thought of keeping a frozen water bottle next to your bed
