I know I need to take them I'm just struggling to take them. I know I should tell my team but they'll get pissed at me and will moan at me. I'm seeing my worker tomorrow and my nurse next week. I don't know what to do??? Any tips or ideas???


It would brainstorm and see if you can figure out why you stopped your meds. Was it money, side effects or did you feel better and thought you did not need them? If you can figure out the why then go from there.

I will not judge you about not taking meds. My youngest daughter has ADHD and does not take meds anymore. I suppose her on this. She is able to manage with school accommodations
