What to do re meds...

[Mandz]

I'm a newbie. :blush: Hi.

Was prescribed medication today that I managed to get off of 2 years ago thanks to my own efforts. Really don't want to end up back on it, which is why I put off going back to the doctor after having problems for a while now. The doc has given me some anti-depressants that help with sleep and some sleeping pills (5 days worth).

I don't know whether to just take the instant fix (the sleeping pills), keeping back the anti-ds until I really feel I need them, or just accept that I should start them again.

This week has been particularly bad as my partner - with whom I live - is working abroad for two weeks, which I'm finding hard. As that's only temporary I figure I could just go with the quick fix.

Not exactly a huge deal to put out to you lovely people, but needed to run it by someone and get any advice.

Hope you're all having a good day. :thumbup:

hiya,
the above posters are all on the button, just wanted to reiterate that this is for your health. i know you might have reservations about maybe not taking them but if you and your doctor think it will benefit your health you should do it. your health is important. value yourself.
