In reply to Why stay on these meds, posted by Maggie C on March 8, 2001, at 11:27:12
Does anyone out there know why I stop taking my meds just as soon as I start to feel all-right? I know I am not fooled into thinking I can stay that way unmedicated, but for some reason I am in a big hurry to get sick all over again. The consequences are real - I lost my job recently and don't have much confidence about getting another. If I don't get a call back after an interview, I feel like killing someone (not me!). I also know my husband cannot take this rollercoaster anymore. We just start to lead normal social lives and I venture over to the dark side again (on purpose, no less). I can't tell him I am in that space now, but he obviously suspects it. My kids suffer too, but I can't stop. Can my doctor stop seeing me if I don't cooperate? Is this like banging your head against a wall because it feels better when you stop? Please don't dismiss me. I am not kidding here, this is really how I feel and I don't know how to stop..
