Medication vs Living Life.

[SJW180]

My friend has taken on a small part time job and is scared to take her meds because they make her really drowsy and unable to function. She needs work but she also needs to be pain free and she feels it isn’t possible to have both. I can totally relate cos I have to sacrifice my afternoon anti psychs a lot cos I can’t risk driving on them. It’s so hard to figure out the right thing when your meds leave you pretty much housebound for 12 hrs of the day.

Playing fast and loose with meds without consulting a doctor is never recommended. If your friend is having issues, the sensible thing to do is to talk to her GP about alternative options
