You mentioned boredom. Do you think boredom has a part in your drug use?

Pdocs definitely need to take all side effects more seriously. Sometimes I wish prescribers had to take seroquel or zyprexa or something for a month to see how it really is.
I do think boredom has a part in my drug use. I try to keep busy but I still get bored doing almost anything that doesn’t involve an adrenaline rush so every 10 minutes I’m doing something different. Having a bad attention span doesn’t help with that either.
