My doctor wouldn't refill my meds so I've been going through withdrawals. I tried to get him to refill it. I don't understand why I need to see him in order for me to refill the stupid meds. At first I was all tingly all over, especially my head. Now I still feel a little dizzy, but mostly angry and frustrated.
I've mentioned this before, but I can't afford to see my doctor, because my husband's insurance is crap. Besides that, I don't want to go. I've been on medicine(s)
About 10 years, I've had enough! I wonder if meds are suddenly stopped, can there be irreversible damage? Last year I was in the hospital and the doctor there abruptly stopped my medicine. I haven't been quite the same since. Of course the doctors and. Therapist would never comment not even to say no
I just can't sleep. I thought I was going to fall asleep at work today, only got like 3 hours of sleep yesterday
I don't think anyone can help, but I feel better just talking on here. Thanks

Its very frustrating when meds get messed up. How annoying for you that your doctor wont refill the script without seeing you. Mine can do it for certain meds but not for others.

I dont know if you can do damage from stopping abruptly but its certainly not a nice experience.
Thanks for this!

My doctor does that too. I have to see him every so often to get him to continue my meds. I think it's a waste of time and money, but have no choice.
