Take Your Medicine

Good morning, y’all!

It’s that time again! Let’s get ready to take our daily dose of medication as prescribed to us by our doctors!

Last time I posted one of these, I shared that I no longer feel as though my medication is the right combination for me. Even just 5 years ago, this would have sent me into a spiral that caused me to stop taking my medicine altogether. Yesterday I sat down with my NP, went over what has been going on, and she decided to increase my antipsychotic. I’m starting my new dose today!! Fingers crossed that it does what we’re hoping it will!

If you feel as though something is not right with your medications, please bring it up with a member of your care team ASAP. You are worthy, you deserve to feel happy and whole.

So, whether you take them to manage a mental disorder, a physical ailment, or whether you just take supplements- take your meds with me! 🫶🏼 and have a great day!

Taking medication as prescribed is crucial for mental health and physical well-being. Medications can help manage conditions such as anxiety, depression, and chronic illnesses when taken correctly. It's essential for individuals to communicate openly with their healthcare providers about any concerns regarding their medication. Adjustments may be necessary over time, especially as life circumstances change. Don’t hesitate to seek support when feeling uncomfortable with your current treatment plan. Remember, medication is just one part of a comprehensive approach to wellness, which may also include therapy, lifestyle changes, and support from friends and family. From understanding side effects to ensuring adherence, staying informed can empower you to take charge of your health journey. You deserve to feel your best, and taking your medication consistently is a vital step towards achieving that goal. Additionally, joining supportive communities can help you navigate your experiences with medication and mental health. Recall that you are not alone, and there are resources and people ready to support you on this journey.
