I am not med compliant, which is one of my dr worries. I don't have insurance to cover. I am on no insurance, so it has to come from my parents. I did heard before that long-term injection damages the skin. I am just conflicted. Like I hate med and I don't want to take them, but the injection will ensure that I have taken the med. The med I am not doesn't stablise me very much and I resist taking them.
do you experience much side-effect?
