I admit I struggle to understand non-compliance.
I’m envious of those who are primarily stable. I’ve only ever been non compliant when unwell and normally take the meds I need to take regardless of the side effects. E.g. I take Epilim EC. It makes me fat. It also stops SI for me. I’ve had no SI since end Nov 2017 which is wonderful. I’d prefer to have my mind working and be here for myself and family than be thin.
What works for me won’t necessarily for you. Wishing you all the best.

I have been med compliant for several decades. It is only this year when I have begun to question being on so many medications for so very many years. It's not about "fat or thin" for me; at this point, it's about am I willing to gain so much weight that I have a heart attack, stroke, or complications from uncontrollable diabetes?
Over time the questions can change and the answers can be different than they were at earlier times in life.
