I have one night a week that I go out and see live music until late, on those nights I cannot take my seroquel. The rest of the week I am fin, but sometimes I just don't want to take the meds. I wish that I know what triggered me to feel like this but I honestly don't always know.
Does this happen to anybody else.

Usually thinking nothing is wrong with me and that I'm cured, thinking the meds are actually poisoned, stuff like that.

I just totally haven't been connecting when I fill my pill box. I have times when a whole week"s worth of Zyprexa just doesn't get taken. I did talk to my case manager about it. She said some pharmacies do blister packs for morning and evening doses.

I have not become non-compliant per say. I have days when I'm in bed then realize I forgot my meds. Then I say "f**** it I'm tired of taking the crap anyway!" I lay in bed and just thinking of how tired I am of taking meds and how jealous I am of ppl that have bp but do not take meds. With my meds I feel bad withdraw affects a lot of the time when I do not take them. And I also can not sleep at a decent time which is no prob on the weekend. All in all I actually can not miss my meds without feeling withdraw. I really do just get tired of taking pills tho...it's a constant remember that I have a MI. I get tired of thinking about the fact that it's dangerous if I want to have a glass of wine or a beer or two because I take meds. I have skipped my meds because I was having a big birthday party. It was my 40th and hell yes I had a little to drink lol

When I drink I don't put my patch on if I was supposed to. But other than that I am compliant now. I used to Be non compliant because I was either chasing mania or trying to prove nothing was wrong. But my last manic episode made me never want to be manic again. So I have been compliant since then (2+ years ago). Mania can get really nasty for me and I don't want to go back to that place ever again.

Usually when I get busy I'll miss my afternoon dose and it's no big deal. If I eat breakfast late and do something I occasionally miss my morning dose. But usually I stay good on my meds.

I never miss taking meds but sometimes when feeling really off I will take double or triple doses, so it's just the low moods that trigger me.

I haven't actually become noncompliant, but when I have been doing well for a period of time I begin to think that I'm not really bipolar and that I have been faking it and so I want to go off my meds. I usually stop myself by thinking back about how crazy I have been in the past like running around at 2:00 in the morning stark naked and playing on the swingset. That's a pretty vivid one! If that's not bipolar behavior nothing is!

I'm so frustrated from not sleeping I think in my head "well the meds aren't working so why take them?!" I have to say, I already skipped like 2 pills today cuz I'm having a "screw it all" attitude.
Or when I'm stable I think I'm all better and don't need them. Then I usually end up going back to drinking to self medicate. Around and around again. |

Sometimes I miss my night dose because I drank too much.....sometimes I miss my morning dose because I'm too depressed to get out of bed. For the most part I'm consistent. Once a week I miss doses on average

Today it's just after 11pm I haven't took any of my meds as I was out drinking since this morning. I never go out all day and I knew I wouldn't take them.
Normally I become non compliant because I feel cured, I believe my special powers have took my bipolar away, I believe the meds have stopped working or I believe someone has tampered with them. I haven't stopped in over a year and today is the first day I haven't took any of my meds but I knew I would be drinking lots and I did just that |

I go through periods of time where I delay taking my Seroquel until 4 AM. If I'm drinking, I won't take it at all. Sometimes when I feel manic, I feel like I have to stay up late doing too many things. I get too many ideas, but feel there's too little time. That triggers me to not take my meds the way I should.

i am med compliant now for 3 years. when i wasnt it was largely because the voices i heard constantly would harass me and torture me if i took them. so i appeased them and dumped all my pills in the toilet on multiple occasions

Side effects, paranoia, thinking I'm sane and everyone else is crazy, feeling my diagnosis is wrong and the drugs are harming me, weight gain, med not working. That's all I can think of but there may be more. It's either one of these or sometimes a combination of these.
