I took them but my wife and my doctor are yelling at me for not taking enough xanax.

I'm usually pretty diligent about taking my meds. Today has been a little off because I slept so late, but in general I am good about taking them as scheduled.

Weekends are the worst. My pillbox informs me of what day it is first thing in the morning!

I just ate and took my meds. I didn't take my sleep med last night or just now. I'm trying to see if I can sleep without it.

I haven't forgotten my meds in more than a month now....I'm still increasing dosage even though I'm already at a therapudic dose, I may end up needing the max dosage which I was hoping wouldn't be the case but the side effects aren't bad with this one so I'm not complaining at all.

I remembered my meds today. I got off track over the last few days. I've been on track with getting it all in. Tomorrow, my goal is to get it all in on time.

Yes, I keep taking my meds and wouldn't dare stop right now....I'm barely getting my head above water and am not even tempted to stop currently. I'm time this will change but I'm staying in contact with my doctors and won't do anything without their consent or at least informing them prior.

Yup, why shoot myself in the foot by not taking them.

I am diligent taking my meds.
It just feels like I am taking them all day, every day. I must have a condition or two that benefits from meds.   WC |

Yes, but I had to drop the Haldol as even the small dose I am on is beginning to blur my vision (looking a close things). Will contact my pdoc tomorrow to let him know. Don't know what I am going to do about the agitation as I need a weight neutral med to deal with it rather than Zyprexa or Seroquel. Hopefully it will pass as my mixed state subsides.

I am obsessively medication compliant. Why would I risk my emotional and physical health? Why would I put myself in jeopardy?
As for missing them, this has become a rarity since I've had them blister packed. |

I forget once or twice a week if I wake up late and I notice but by the time I realize it I'm already on my way to work hoping I don't freak out at a a coworker or a patient. But for me if I forget once or twice a week it's like they almost work better the following days.

I took my morning meds again today....I've been nothing if not consistent with my meds. My husband says my only job right now is to take my meds and work on being as well as I can. I'm trying....it's up and down, back and forth but I keep taking them. The daytime tiredness is a killer and I may not be able to keep taking them during the day of it doesn't let up. My mind is still racing like a Grand Prix contender while my body feels the fuel has been siphoned

So far I have. Afternoon meds are the hardest, though. Sometimes I "nap" and forget taking them.
