I go off medication like every other week. It's hard for me to swallow pills. I saw a PRN that switched me to desolvable lamictal. So I took that every night. Then I switched pdocs who wanted me to switched back to the AP shot I did well on the shot before but I had switched centers and this center didn't have a nurse that could give me the injection. However, my insurance wouldn't cover it until I was on it for 4 months prior. I don't have access to $1200 a month or I would have done that.

So I switched pdoc again and I looked up which desolvable AP because I was taking my lamictal regularly. I asked for Zyprexa desolvable pdoc gave it to me. I took it and gained a lot of weight because I was sleeping when I wasn't eating but I wasn't paranoid. Pdoc lowered the dose of zyprexa. Now I still have some psychotic symptoms but I can handle it better.

I'm to scared my insurance will stop paying for the desovable due to non-compliance if I stop taking this medication like I they took away the shot. So I have the counter on my signature of how many days I've taken the medication without missing a day. I've got up to six months without skipping a dose.

You need to be honest with yourself and your team about why your skipping your meds. If it's because you need to believe your Dx talk to your therapist about it. If you forget, set an alarm. If it takes to long to sort them get a pill box or get your pills into a blister pack.

Do you know what stops you from taking your medication?
