What to do?

I stopped to use my meds,,I have a good explanation,,now I need it but I'm scared to go see the doctor

If I understand your post you stopped your meds

Now you feel you need them again? Call the md and get them re ordered

Welcome, Dark_angel

I can understand the fear of explaining it to the doctor.

Maybe you can try going with a friend or someone trusted so you are not alone.

It's very hard facing difficult situations that we are afraid of but once you get through this, the anxiety will be less, hopefully.

Let us know how it goes.

Sending you strength, courage and support...

I'm afraid to go,,at the government clinic they are very rude and that is putting me off completely,,I know I needy meds but I'm scared to go.

Try and keep in mind that the doctor is there to help you. Make a few notes before you go so that you are clear on what you want to say. Just be brief and honest. I wish you the very best.

You probably will feel worse if you don’t see the doctor. Go.

Your DR is there to assist you. Go. Don't be afraid. You are far from the first person who has done this. Perhaps bring up the reasons you quit in the first place. Then you can work together to form a better plan.

I’ve recently had to stop some meds. Because I’m not always good at articulating this to people I perceive as authority figures I wrote it all down on my iPad at the suggestion of the therapist and took my iPad in. Asked the dr to read it first then ask me questions if anything was unclear. It worked well for me and wonder if you’ve thought of doing something similar?
