Looking for help

[emmanral93]

I have recently left half of my medication supply at my parents house so I've been taking a much smaller doseage so I've been really anxious more than usual about basically anything. I am going back later so I am going to be able to pick up what I've missed out on all week will it take long to get back into my system?

I am worried because I am student researching into mental health but finiding it hard to get participants who've also suffered, which is why I am so passionate. I don't want too, have to push everything back a year and I don't want to wait 6 weeks for my medication to kick back in fully if thats how long it may take

Hello emmanral93, Sorry you have had a difficult time and this problem. Can I ask how long you were on a reduced dose. If it was only a short time (?one week) it should pick up again quickly but please don't take over the prescribed dose to try and hasten the improvement. When you are back arrange to see your Health Professional and explain what happened, and/or speak with the Pharmacist who knows you and your prescription medication. The reason for this is that this is an anonymous site and although very supportive it is not the medical personnel who look after you and know your history. At least you won't forget the meds next time, so another lesson learned, and you will be able to pass that tip on to help someone else.

Good luck

MAS Nurse.
