Take Your Meds Please

Good morning, y’all! It’s that time again!

Please take your scheduled dose of prescribed medication as directed by your provider.

Your meds are prescribed to you for a reason. It’s the most basic form of self care to take them as directed.

Take your meds! And if you feel like you shouldn’t take your meds, reach out to your care team to see what can be changed for you. You more than likely have options and will be able to find a suitable alternative.

Taking your medication as prescribed is not just a recommendation; it is a fundamental aspect of maintaining your health. Medications are tailored specifically for you, based on your medical history and current health conditions. Ignoring the prescribed schedule can result in diminished effectiveness and adverse health consequences. Remember, medication management is an essential part of self-care and mental wellness. If you're experiencing doubts about your treatment, it's crucial to communicate openly with your healthcare team. They can provide guidance, address your concerns, and help you explore alternative options if necessary. Don’t hesitate to advocate for your health—understanding your medication can vastly improve your wellness journey. Always keep in mind that you have the right to seek clarity on your treatment plan, ensuring it aligns with your needs and lifestyle. Embrace your wellness journey by staying informed and proactive!

A yellow capsule labeled "IG322 300mg" is shown. Text discusses personal experience with Lyrica and gabapentin, highlighting severe reactions, hospitalizations, and minimized concerns, referencing "The Hidden Risks of America's Most Popular Prescription Painkiller."

A medical record for Lauren Smith details her ER admission for altered mental status, non-verbal state, and suspected catatonia. It notes a history of schizoaffective disorder and mentions her family's belief that symptoms stemmed from Lyrica withdrawal.

This medical record continues, listing symptoms like selective mutism and catatonia. It describes the patient's hospital course, including non-verbal episodes, nausea, a seizure, and her request not to be restarted on Lyrica due to past issues.

if you’re on either of these meds, pls do your own research & please be safe 🫶🏻
