I'm going to tell my new pdoc there's no point in prescribing me any prns because my parents won't let me take them anyway.
Then maybe he'll call them. I feel like asking my mom what the point is of me having as needed meds if she's never going to let me take them anyway! And she has my cogentin and I'm supposed to take that twice a day. I guess not anymore. And I woke up this morning way restless and uncomfortable. Guess I'm just going to have to deal with it. That's pretty much what my parents told me to do. **** my life.

Um... has anyone considered that you might want to call the police? You NEED your medication. They can't deny that to you. Isn't that kind of abuse illegal? I don't know the laws on these things for sure, but I might consider that. I know you want to have a good relationship with your parents and all, but this is ridiculous.
 I'm mad for you.

I put my foot down!
I can take two propranolol a day as needed, two lorazepam a day as needed, and I'm supposed to be taking two cogentin a day. I told my mom that I wanted her to leave those out for me (just what I'm prescribed for the day), and then I can take them as I needed without having to ask. She was difficult. For some reason she wasn't understanding when I made myself perfectly clear? She accused me of wanting to take meds when I don't need them! I got so mad! Accusing me of wanting to take propranolol when I don't need it... I DON'T GET HIGH OFF PROPRANOLOL!!!!! Oh I'm pissed. I'm shaking.

Are you an adult? How come your parents are dispensing your medication as if you were a child?

She grudgingly said that starting tomorrow she will leave them out.
I'm sure I'm going to have to remind her.

Well done for standing up for yourself and confronting your mom! I hope she sticks to her word.

I'm suggesting you contact your pdoc anyway and explain what's been going on. S/he will help you.
You've been writing you want to get better. You will need your meds. You've just been through hell. The stakes are high. You don't have a lot of room for messing around with missing meds. We all care for you very much! Please call your pdoc and heave him/her help get this sorted out once and for all. Don't let more days pass without your meds. Take back some control you've previously given up. You can do it; do it along with your pdoc's input. It's a great time to ally with your doctor! WC |
