How do we,who need to take medications daily,stay compliant,(take them as prescribed) and why do we go off them, knowing the results if we do.

I have been discussing the idea about seeing a different doc.My coverage will accept most any doc and distance isn't posing much of a problem anymore(I stopped contracting last fall)maybe your right,look for a new one is most likely the right choice!

asking

Yeah, if you are this sleepy, you need to talk to someone about drug interactions and such. I'm also wondering if not working is making things harder. I've been out of work for a while, I and I know that affects my mood at times.

I'm rooting for you, Ken!

Well,low and behold,they actually agreed with me on the meds,I got a change order today(about 30 min. ago(4:40 local)and now I can get the treatment going in a positive note again(All it took was a little 'manipulation' on my part,,,and acceptance on theirs...hehe )

thanks for the cheering section!!!!

I am alone tonight and very depressed.I am taking many of my prescriptions and hoping this will be the end of things for me.I hope all have a decent life(except a few)and further yourselves in the fine pursuits you are following.

asking

Hey, Ken. I just got back from a trip. Please don't take these pills if you have not already. You have been such a help to me at times as well as many others here. Are there not parts of your life that are good? This mood you are in is probably temporary, although it sounds like a very dark and scary one.

Please reconsider. I'm very concerned.

One of the wonders of life, is no matter how bad you think your life is, you can always find someone worst.

I visited a Cancer center for those that can not be cured and almost to the level of hospice care today.

I know ai take 12 medications every day, and it is hard to do them all the time.

But the wonders of life is that no matter how bad it is now, one can always do better in the future

asking

I have at times in my life just wanted it to be over. I do know what that feels like. I am glad that I am here, for myself and for my kids. There are enough good days to make it okay and sometimes wonderful.

I am glad that you are here too. You are a very cool person, Ken.

Ken, sorry I have not been around, but have been working a LOT.

I'm hoping you have not taken too many and will be able to respond to this soon.

Okay, don't be stupid Ken, you know this is not the way to handle things. You know that this is just a bump in the road of new meds. You of all people KNOW this.

Ken, you know I am almost always here to talk if you need me. If you can't find me, you know you can PM me.

Why are you depressed? What has happened? Why are you alone?

Ken, love, you can't just leave a post like this and disappear, you need to talk to us so we can help you through this. Had you stayed on the computer long enough, you would not have been alone. You would have been with us.

Take care Ken, I care for you and you know that.

Dear Ken,

I've tried calling and emailing you. Please do respond. We're all worried about you!

I know that you were active on that other site a few nights ago, and from what I've read there, you didn't seem to indicate that you were having some kind of problem.

I've met with you personally and would love to do so again! We don't live very far from each other.

Please, do respond to us here...

Thanks!

Well, I took nearly all the pills I had left.(many thousand milligrams)

I have spent 4 days in ICU on respirator.

Spent the rest of these days in inpatient care facility.

I was depressed,I was suicidal,I did what I felt necessary at the time.

I am still teary-eyed and just hanging in there today,another bad night.Maybe I got out too soon.IDK.
