Topic Tuesday // Managing side effects of medication // Tues. 17 Apr. 7pm - 9pm AEST

Re: Topic Tuesday // Managing side effects of medication // Tues. 17 Apr. 7pm - 9pm AEST

The one I have just come off.....it was sending me nutty. Then something happened to one of my kids and I said enough is enough. No more. I just couldn't do it anymore. And it's been a hard few days. I'm really struggling with but I'm determined to stay off of it. It can only get better.....hopefully

@Bunniekins for the first few weeks I felt like that but i have had my mh since i was about 7 and i wasnt diagnosed till i was 22 I thought i was managing fine then they put me on meds and not having a constant buzz and not being on edge all the time was good but i got to the point i just couldnt handle the side effects

Hello Shaz51
Missed meds is not good at all.
Regular seems best

@Shaz51 Shaz51 may I ask what it is about the pills that upsets Mr Shaz? For me it is pill podge. If it is how does he combat it?

I’ve found that a medication that didn’t work ten years ago now works for me. I think part of it is that I’ve learned to look after myself better - considering what I eat, getting some exercise (still working on that one!) and recognising what triggers my moods.

So draining during the day too
