I’ve been pretty resistant to taking medications for most of my life, but somehow currently I’ve found myself on too many pills. It started slowly with me thinking I’d try one antidepressant (after trying 2 many years ago), and then I started taking another medication because of my headaches, and then the antidepressant that was working, stopped working. So I added on another one, and I had been subscribed migraine meds prior to that, which only sort of work. I still was getting a lot of headaches so I got my Propranolol prescription doubled…

Suddenly I came to the realization that this is too many meds! I personally don’t want to be on this many and honestly…most of the time I feel like garbage. I think the medications are causing more problems than what they are fixing at this point. This isn’t even the full list of my prescriptions, I will go into detail on this later but I woke up today feeling like I got hit by a semi truck and that I will likely throw up today. This is because the pharmacy didn’t refill my antidepressant, Duloxetine as early as I needed it so I missed one dose yesterday. I am on the lowest dose possible for this drug and missing one dose has made me extremely ill and miss work today. Interestingly enough, a video showed up on my YouTube feed and I am very inspired after watching it. Here it is:

I plan to get myself off some, if not all of my medications. I will blog about it in detail in future posts 😘
