Not taking your meds because you are waiting for a fictional character to show up is a bad idea. Just saying.

[alkahestapeiron.livejournal.com]

ThisthisthisthisTHIS.

[ainu-laire.livejournal.com]

Yea... this... :/

[wpadmirer.livejournal.com]

Please take your meds. I have too many friends who've stopped when they felt better and then things go horribly wrong. Don't let feeling better and a fantasy lead you to hurting yourself! Please!

[(Anonymous)]

Take your fucking meds you idiot, they're not like cough medicine. Don't be so selfish.

[clarice.livejournal.com]

Everyone I know who has done this has ended up in the criminal justice system. And going NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) is measurably worse than going to prison if the crime is lesser than murder or rape.

Take the damn pills.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

You fail logic. Let's say The Doctor existed, and you went with him. Wouldn't that just mean you'd have a psychotic episode on another planet/in another time? That would be as bad or worse.
Take your meds. Seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

Please, start taking your medication again. Or at least discuss your decision with a trained medical professional. Who you will stay in regular contact with, to make sure that you don't need to start taking medicine again.

And, if you're doing this in the hopes that you'll start hallucinating Doctor Who episodes, remember that most delusions are nowhere near that detailed. You're more likely to start seeing bugs on all your food, or hear voices muttering your name then to go off and have wacky adventures with a TV character.

[isisfrog.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure he could just take you to get a refill.

Now take your meds, please.

[(Anonymous)]

...why is everyone reading this as if OP stopped taking their meds in case the Doctor shows up? That's not what it says. There are plenty of reasons the medication might not work for them. All they're saying is the risks of going without don't bother them as much as they think they should because of said fantasy.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

On the one hand, that's how I read it too.

On the other hand, no matter what their reason is it's dangerous to go off your meds, something I know firsthand, so I don't blame people for wanting to point that out.

[childings.livejournal.com]

I never could understand people who just stop taking their meds without consulting their doctor first. I'm not sure what you're taking meds for, but for mood disorders at least, you run a high risk of suicide by doing so.

Of course, I did it once, but it led to horrible consequences so I definitely don't recommend it

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, because if you go psychotic, there's no chance at all of you harming other people!

Grow the fuck up and take your damn meds. You're not the only one at risk here. If they have intolerable side effects, you know what? There's most likely more than one brand. Don't be so fucking selfish.

(Bonus: you may think you're fine off your meds, but as a friend of someone who frequently goes off their meds: you might not be. You just can't tell.)

not the OP

[(Anonymous)]

I went off my meds. They never worked for me. If I was on them now, I'd still be living with side-effects and I sure as hell wouldn't be writing, because those things shut my imagination off like it's on a switch. They shut *me* off.

I can handle a psychotic episode every couple of years if my life is worth living the rest of the time, thanks. I can deal with the isolation, the lousy attention span, the cognitive drift, and the need to spend half my time moving around like I'm on a string, because I get to keep hold of the things that make me myself, that are important to me.

*cha-ching*

[(Anonymous)]

Take your fucking meds for the sake of the people around you who will have to deal with your crazy shit if you don't, asshole.

[velvet-mace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you aren't convincing me that it was a good idea for you to go off your meds.

And by the way The Doctor can manufacture your pills with two pieces of string and a sonic screwdriver, same way he manufactures everything else the plot needs. It wouldn't be a problem.

To OP: I Know It Sucks, But...

[wordfuzion.livejournal.com]

Wow...

I know it sucks to take meds. I've been on them for the last twenty years. But generally there is a reason you're on them. I just found this out myself when I started recently messing with my meds and I had a total emotional collapse that led to a physical collapse when I went back on them.

Please, please talk to your doctor or conseuler if you want to get off the meds. Maybe there's something else you can take that won't have as many side effects. And if you have to stay on meds period, maybe you should start realizing that we're lucky to live in the era we do. Better life through science.

[(Anonymous)]

This thread's a top-class example of the way society marginalises and infantilises the mentally ill. Any choices they make are automatically invalidated. A+, guys.

Huh

[roxiful.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm missing the point, but why would being a companion mean not worrying about losing pills?

[herongale]

All the people telling you to take your damn meds tempts me to urge you to never take them again, just to be contrary.

Only you and your doctors know how likely the threat of a psychotic episode is, and psych medications are not benign creations. If you're pretty well functional in society and have a good support system to help you if something happens, I don't see any reason why not to see how you do off the meds. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you to be careful, either.

But consider. The Doctor might refuse to take you with unless you get back on your meds. Your delight is about as misplaced as all the arm-chair psychiatric advice you've been getting.

[charliequinn.livejournal.com]

This is a bad idea and is making the rest of us on meds look bad.

Please, continue making the rest of us crazies look crazier.

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, I don't think this one is going to end well.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, er... perhaps it will at least make the Doctor more likely to show up (in your head, at least?)

Seriously, if you have stopped your meds without medical advice, please, please reconsider. I say this as someone who is right now off my meds without medical consent, so believe me, I know it's tough--I don't even have side-effects, three years of therapy hasn't figured out why I stupidly do this to myself--but it's important to try to stay on them.

And, really, traveling without your psychiatric meds (to another country, to the grocery store, through time and space, whatever), is a bad idea. All the stress and unfamiliar circumstances are just perfect triggers for a bad episode. I'm sure the Doctor would want you to bring your pills with you.

Anon to prevent my friends from lecturing me like I'm lecturing you... yeah, I'm a hypocrit, I'm man enough to admit it.

[(Anonymous)]

While I'm definitely of the opinion that going off heavy-duty meds is something that needs a physician's input and possibly supervision, can we stop fucking perpetuating the meme that psychosis = axe crazy violent?

Statistically speaking, people like the OP are far more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than the perpetrator.
