Sorry to whine, I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I think the journey of meds...well its a long one. Even when you get a few months of time under your belt, its like getting hit with a freight train when things go south. I have tried to come to a place of acceptance. I am fortunate to have been stable for a very long time with my meds but still when things in my life became unbearable I started the Latuda. I am on a lot of medication as well and I have finally done that whole "radical acceptance" thing about meds. Its ok for me to be dependent on them. Just like someone is dependent on their reading glasses, insulin, blood pressure meds....psychiatric meds are just as important to my health.
