Hello

I sometimes forget why I am taking my pill and I like to not take them just to feel like my self again. But then I soon enough I come to realize there is a reason to be on them. Will always go through this up and down? Will I always wonder what it feels like to be off but then come to the realization how much I need it? I really don't like this cycle.

Anyone else?

Hi @twomes

How are you today?

I will tag a few people to see if they have had a similar experience.

@Baker6874 @Carlasb84 @boothmorgan @thillyre @ccummins83 @Amandamoughon @Baby2017 @pixiestik_ @Catface31 @mrsnowe @Kitten4 @Claret @pickles1065 @Whiteswan @FionaDriver @Seldo65 @VictoriaAlice91 @MsJaneyG @Deborah1981 @DOreen42

Do you ever feel like going off your prescription? Do you willingly choose to stop it? Is this something you have told your doctor about?

Share your stories.

Take care,


Lizzi
