Problems regarding medication.

[darklane]

Ok I don't know what the hell my doctor is doing... and getting a doctor available here is very hard for me, since I'm only 19 and for people that know my past posts , I only told one friend about this, my parents don't know, etc.

The problem is today my medication was finnished Cipralex and Medazepam , I tried calling my doctor several times but no answer, and I have to continue the treatment.

My question is can I go to a pharmacy and get let's say get 3 days worth of Cipralex and Medazepam without a prescription If i tell the pharmacist this issue ? Since I have to leave the city tomorrow and will have to stay for two days gone.

Well , I went and the pharmacist gave me when I explained the situation . The bad thing is my mother found out , since I also had to buy something else from that money and the medication costed all of it , so I had to return home.. and tell her . She didn't took it well at all , she was screaming because why I have to take this crap, this is for the weak, how can others manage life without them and all that.. -_-... I tried to explain how things are, that I don't chose to have this feelings, that this is a chemical imbalance.. but she kept her blabing ...

im sorry you are having such a rough time with this, and its good you understand how your medication is not for the weak, it can take a lot of strength admitting you need help.

do you two argue often?
i trust that you have other healthy ways to "escape" like school or reading, music or something?


it is good that you found a combination that is helping continue doing what is right for you, sounds like you have the best intentions, and that sadly can be a rare thing - so please keep it up
;-)

thank you for the support I'm really happy that I've found this board since I have no other people to really talk to about this.
Just had another long argue, where she told me i'm worthless , and why I can't be like others kids and go outside have fun. Well guess what ? I am going outside, I'm hanging out with my friends but she's like blind and can't see this things, she only puts out examples of other now, of how can they live without this .
Even tomorrow I have to go search for an apartment to rent in another city since college will start soon. And I'm really looking forward of joining up the Students League there and do as many projects as I can...

Anyway, for now this seems like a bad day for me since I feel like crying from all the anger that inside me after this argue... I feel like hitting a bar and go sit for a while alone...some friends called but now I've lost interest in hanging out with them in this state.

dont let it get to you, go out if you want;-) - it sounds like she does want the best for you, but, you maybe know what actually is best this time.

i would be pretty excited about school, the apartment and Student League, and everything else that comes along with that - hehe

I agree; it seems like she means well, but she doesn't realize that she's actually making things far worse. Living on your own and focusing on school (as well as your own mental health, away from her negative influence) will be hugely beneficial to you. Until then, keep staying the course. It sounds like she 'knows' too much to allow for other opinions, but if you can get her on a good mood or something, perhaps you could explain that mental illness is no different from physical illness, and the fact that you're taking medication for it does not (necessarily) mean that she's failed you.

it's tough dealing with family. I think she probably just doesn't want to accept that you need help, maybe it makes her feel like she didn't do enough or something. I can't get my family to accept that i'm not entirely normal for some reason, despite all the evidence. At least you're going to college, maybe she has separation anxiety or something, i'd try to leave on good terms, even if you just tell her that she's right and you will work it out on your own. Once you're in college you can do whatever you want either way. Keep up the good work, you're the only one who knows if your medication is right for you and don't let anything get in the way of going to college, you will certainly grow a lot and after a while you might not need to take medication anyway. good luck. As well, living on your own is much better, I moved back home after my first year of university and that was a huge mistake, all the family problems came rushing back.
