Do you take meds as prescribed or do you adjust them to suit you.
Generally as prescribed. I've got a good relationship with my Psych NP where we've established my core meds and have established PRNs when needed. No surprises. No muss. No fuss.

I did tell him if I found that a new med wasn't right for me (side effects or just not feeling right) and he fought me on it for no good reason, I'll stop it unilaterally. No muss. No fuss. Done.

Other than McDonald's, where would you go if you were craving fast food?
