Previously, not recently. I've been on and off meds for months, it plays havoc with my moods. Settled a bit since last week though, thanks for asking.

Antidepressants need to be taken regularly, not sporadically. That will lead to rebound anxiety.Previously, not recently. I've been on and off meds for months, it plays havoc with my moods. Settled a bit since last week though, thanks for asking.![]()
Has the doctor done that with the meds or have you done it off your own bat? As Groucho said correctly, it needs to be steady doses. I speak from experience.Previously, not recently.

It's me, sometimes I forget to take them for days at a time which leads me to think "if I'm forgetting it must be because my brain clearly doesn't view them as a priority, maybe I don't need them at all in that case?"
Then there's an inevitable drop off and I have a tough few days. Keeps happening, I need to stop being so inconsistent.
I have mine somewhere they cant be missed so I cant forget them. Obvioulsy out of kids way. The mind will do that to you. The counselling I had taught me thecreasons and how to react to them. Hopefully if you are getting counselling it will do the same.It's me, sometimes I forget to take them for days at a time which leads me to think "if I'm forgetting it must be because my brain clearly doesn't view them as a priority, maybe I don't need them at all in that case?"

I used to mark it off on the calendar when I took mine in the morning mate, that way I never forgot or became confused, as to whether I`d taken them or not.
If you are like me, the mornings used to be the worst, as I felt like there was a fog in my head, making it difficult to think straight and I also felt shattered until about 11am, when the meds would kick in properly.
It`s very easy to forget to take them and I know exactly where you are coming from.
You’ve posted about being inconsistent with your meds on here a lot mate . You aren’t helping yourself . It’s a dangerous game arsing about with anti depressants.It's me, sometimes I forget to take them for days at a time which leads me to think "if I'm forgetting it must be because my brain clearly doesn't view them as a priority, maybe I don't need them at all in that case?"

It’s easily done, don’t beat yourself up about it. Just try to find a system that works for you.It's me, sometimes I forget to take them for days at a time which leads me to think "if I'm forgetting it must be because my brain clearly doesn't view them as a priority, maybe I don't need them at all in that case?"

Could be a bit harsh that mate, it happens more than you’d think.Tell you what winds me up. Rats in the local press crime pages using mental health issues as a defence and "self medicating with cocaine and alcohol".
I mean the ones who slice people up and use it as a tool in their defence in court.Could be a bit harsh that mate, it happens more than you’d think.
I know what you mean. They commit a bad crime then cry mental health issues to get put in say ashworth rather than proper jail.I mean the ones who slice people up and use it as a tool in their defence in court.
