wrong medication /: - August 18th 2009, 07:44 PM

my therapist gave me this medication and it doesn't work at all.
the daytime pill is supposed to make me happy, gain my appetite, and give me energy.
it doesn't.
it makes me upset, have no appetite, it gives me hives, and it makes my muscles lock all the timeee.

my nighttime medication doesn't work either.
it's supposed to make the voices ago away, it's supposed to make me tired, and it's supposed to make me sleep all night without waking up.
first of all, it doesn't make me tired. i used to sleep twelve hours a night, now i sleep for two or three. the voices aren't going away. and it's dumb.

i hate these dumb medications!
i don't want to take them!
but i have to!
and i have hives all over my body!
they said take benadryl for an allergic reaction,
but guess what?
i'm allergic to benadryl.
gah.

stupid medicine.

Hi,

You really must contact your therapist as soon as possible and tell them that the medication is not working for you and that you would like to try alternatives. If she gives you problems, you tell her that she is there to serve you and you would like to try another medication. You should not be getting hives from anything like that.

Hey There,

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going well.

Have you informed your doctor about what is going on with the medication? If not, I think that it would be a great idea for you to do so, because then they will be able to put you on the right stuff. Sometimes when a person begins a new treatment, it will take a while to get to the right medicine, and that sometimes takes a bit of experimenting.

You need to talk to your doctor about this, because what you are taking may be doing something worse to you inside, and you don't need that. So if you get on the right medicines then they will help you out so much more. You just need to speak up to your doctor about this.

Tell your parents as well. Let them know what's going on, and that your medicine isn't working. This way they could help you get to the doctor, and then help you through this stressful time. Your parents can help you a lot too, you just need to reach out to them.

I hope that things get better for you, I really do. Please take care of yourself.

Take care,
