Hi, I am new to this but have to turn somewhere for help. I am a member of AA and have not had a drink of alcohol in 3 1/2 years. I am also under the care of a psychiatrist who perscribed me concerta a few years ago when asked. 2 years ago I had a stroke and they took me off that med. I have still been taking it intermitantely to control my depressed mood and overeating. Obviously I am conflict with this situation. I feel as if I didn't take the med my depression would get so bad and be like the time I didn't want to live anymore. I know that I am powerless but fear has a powerful grip on me. I know prayer works but I am mad at god. I need to get honost.
Taking it intermittently? Is this how it is prescribed? Your doctors need to work together. Depression can be dangerous. If certain meds might conflict with other conditions you have, then your psychiatrist needs to try something else. but yes, you do need to be honest. If each of your doctors don't know your complete medical picture they could inadvertently prescribe something harmful. Get honest with them. Tell them your complete history and how you are feeling. Let them decide on a course of treatment that will help you. As for being mad a God.....IMHO the sooner you get over that the better off you will be.
honesty is a must - to get clean and to stay clean - so if one chooses to stay dishonest - be ok with the consequences. I know it sounds tough - but it's true - If nothing changes - nothing changes. Hope you choose relief.
