No more F**king tablets!!

Ive had enough...
9 and half tablets a day!!
Im sick of taking tablets everyday and everynight!
I cant explain it... Im just so peeved off with taken tablets and they do help but Ive had enough, I cant take drink on them without being sick, Im gaining so much weight on them I just generally feel disgusting!
I havent taken last nights or this morning and I don't plan on taking anymore!
Im not even going to mention it to my mum or my CPN or doctor, they'll go nuts and force me to take them!

sorry that's kinda rantish!
any advice for going off tablets cold turkey!?
Im so frustrated and angry!



Each tear drop falls with sorrow, hoping and praying for another tomorrow!

Without wanting to sound flippant or patronising re the above, the simple answer is don't. I know it can be irritating taking meds and I don't take anywhere near as much as you - only 1-3 a day. I'm going through what my housemate calls a "my tablets are poisoning me" phase but even I can recognise that stopping them cold turkey isn't good. I learnt from trying to take myself of venlafaxine twice, cold turkey, made me feel really ill. I spoke to my psych and she helped take me off it gradually (as I was being put on another med anyway).

If they are helping you, that is all the more reason to keep taking them. I don't know what it is you take them for but remind yourself how awful it was before and the other issues re taking them should fall into line.

I really think you should speak to your cpn/dr or someone and definitely keep taking them in the meantime.

I dunno... I just really cant stand it anymore...
Im on an anti-depressant, a mood stabliser, 2 different anti phycotic's and a sleeper, but i really have had enough...
I know going off them without being weened of them is a really bad idea but its the only way, they wont let me come off them otherwise.

I might stay off them for a few days and if I find its giving me bother i'll go back on them but i cant tell anyone that...
eventually they will find out because they do blood test to see what my mood stabliser's levels are but I dont think I can tell them before that!

Im in two different minds but I really think I'll give them up.

People with diabetes have to take their insulin every day; that's just like you having to take your tablets every day. Its an illness just as diabetes is an illness.



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

hey guys thanx for your replies,

I know meds are their to help cure an illness but I have to try not to be ill, so coming off my meds would be less ill, if you know what I mean, I make no sense but what i mean is if friends and family see your on so much medication their gonna think she hasa real problem whereas if i wasnt on any meds they would think I was normal and my friends would wanna be my friend again,
Its really confusing, my heads messy atm so im probably making no sense at all...

I was talking to my CPN and she decicded to take me off some of my clorpromazaine and increase my sleeper so i would be more settled and not have to worry about weight gain.#

about the drink, I know if Im on meds the best thing is not to drink, but I find it really hard espes now with the festive season, like if my friend drinks I have to drink, I know im a little old for peer pressure as im 18 but I honestly find it hard to say no if someone else is doing the same...
Im silly lol...
