I stopped my fluanxol

[Against_the_current]

I can't. I was going insane. I worry about it. And i have 95 pills left, what am i supposed to do with them

It's not advisable to stop a medication without consulting the doctor who prescribed it.I was so crazy on Celexa that my dr took me off it after one week. Fortunately we found something else without the severe side effects.

I was just starting it and i can't function. Rn can't sleep because of headache

One way to get rid of pills is, if you know someone with a dog, to pour the pills into a bag that has some of the dog’s fecal droppings in it. That will keep anyone from using the medication and will also break it down quickly.

Thanks for the advice and always being here for me. I just wanted to make use of them

[SoporRose in reply to Against_the_current]

Yeah: that's the problem with medications we can't use. You know someone else probably could benefit from them, but it's illegal — and for good reasons — to share or even returns medications, but it feels terrible to waste them…

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

Yeah, it does. I feel so bad

[melbrown]

To echo emmi331 you really should talk to your doctor before stopping. Some side-effects eventually ease... they can advise a lower dosage if they feel it could be help ease you into the medication. They tired that with me before... unfortunately some meds have horrible side-effects for a bit... Please talk to your doctor.

I was just starting them. And i couldn't adapt

[Against_the_current in reply to melbrown]

Update talked to my doctor and he changed it with other med

[melbrown in reply to Against_the_current]

Glad you did. Think most of us who have/are doing meds to help with our mental health have gone through a rough patch with them. Wish you luck with this one.

[Against_the_current in reply to melbrown]

Thank you. 2 or 3 days in i feel better. It's a game of luck and i think i finally found something

In many pharmacies and police stations there are drop boxes where you can deposit bottles of unused/outdated pills. Don't flush them or put them down the drain since they can get into water supplies.

[Against_the_current in reply to bethelbee]

I really won't trash them. I just wish i could get them into usage

[bethelbee in reply to Against_the_current]

I don't know if there's any place that would take them or not since the pills would probably have to be verified that what it says on the bottle is what's inside before anyone else could use them. I know it seems like a waste. I felt that way when I've gotten rid of unused meds. Ask your pharmacist maybe.

Will try
