I don't want to take meds anymore they make me physically ill since the day I began taking them I've always felt I'll on and off doctors can't find anything cause of these stupid drugs they keep pumping me with I can't dream anymore. Ever since meds I can't. Sleep without them and I hate to be dependent and I love to dream
I'm on effexor invega pills effexor and invega shot and I think zyprexa the. Thing. Is. If I quit my meds I will probably become suicidal but I'm already suicidal the pills don't matter I'd rather not be. Physically and mentally sick.I'd rather not take them well maybe my injection but definitely not pills Sent from my LGMS659 using Tapatalk |

I hear you, passionfruti3. Meds help me just barely enough to keep me on them, but sometimes I look back through the years and mourn at how much of my life has been stolen by med side-effects. But then, maybe it's more the mental illness itself that has stolen big parts of my life from me.

Hi passionfruit3: I'm no longer on med's. The last one I was on was Cymbalta. I went off when I changed health insurance providers & the out-of-pocket cost skyrocketed. Now, I don't believe I would go back on them. I also don't see a therapist. Sometimes I think this might be a good idea. But, truth-be-told, I never found one of those I thought was worth the cost either. So I'm just hangin' out here on my own. Some days are good, others are not. But all-in-all, I'm content. I do still see my pdoc every 3 to 4 months. He is my last remaining connection to the mental health system where I live. So it's sort-of like keeping my foot in the door, so to speak.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
