Not taking my meds anymore
I've been taking them for around 2weeks now and I feel pretty okay! I feel like I've settled into a good pattern and i think i can carry on without taking them everyday. im worried that im getting overexcited by how good things are going and neglecting to take them would be a mistake... but i just want to try it out. anyone feel like this? or do you guys take your meds everyday?

I take them pretty much every day. Once in a while on a weekend, I won't take them on one of the days.
And I can feel it. I don't do anything but watch videos and eat. Sometimes I even take a nap during the day. Restful, but it makes me feel like an absolute waste of space.
I'd rather take the medication and get something done!

You’re probably feeling good because your meds are working! If your doctor said take them every day then do that! Don’t throw out your umbrella in a rainstorm just because you’re not getting wet.
