Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 I have to say.. some people can easily become addicted to things.. that they have been prescribed by their dr... even when they take it as they should.... Its happened to me.. but I react very very very very strongly to meds to start off with.. and at the same time.. lose dosages of most psych drugs are very ineffective for me... it does happen.. and a lot of psych drugs are very addicting to begin with.. especially the way some PDocs will pill push.. thats to the HMOs ... its horrible that it happens.. but oh does it.. as for reading information.. my PDoc always encouraged me.. and I'm sure other's .. to read up on things.. he thinks patients should be involved in their own care.. certainly not prescribing drugs and stuff.. but able to give input..

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Allicia, I'm probably over stepping my bounds here, but when you mentioned the money situation regarding your folks, are you on their insurance? If not, is there a way you could move back home to get on their insurance? This is a difficult situation for any parent. If insurance is a problem, then money does become a consideration. In some thing similar, not long after my husband & I married, he changed jobs, and we had no medical insurance. If the situation had come up then that I am in now, I know we would not have been able to absorb the vast medical costs that have come up. This is just a suggestion, one I hope helps. Carol I am soo scared...I just don't know what to do..my parents don't want me going to another doctor because they are looking at $$ situation..I can't work because I can't stay awake longer than 6 hours. Plus I can't stand on my feet longer than 1 hour without my legs litterally stiffing to the point where I can't bend them. I feel like I am at a stopping point with no where to go...somedays I just wish the sun would stop shining and others I am soo thankful it is...I just don't know what to do....One doctor tells you this another tells you that...what or who do you believe...I'm only 21 so I guess you could say I am not as smart as most of the other folks on here when it comes to medical stuff...
