Who here doesn't take medication

Post Reply New Topic

I wasn't on anything for my head, ever, in my life, until I was 19 and got the kind of depression where I NEEDED them (bigtime).

Just birth control, and I think some antibiotics for ear infections when I was little.

I don't take any medicine or drugs. I don't like the effects of drugs or alcohol and I have a hard time swallowing pills. I don't react well to caffeine.

I try to take vitamins sometimes, but usually forget to take them.

I've got enough pills to open up a pharmacy. They are mostly medicines that I don't take any more and didn't like. I'm only taking two now that seem to be the best combination for me.

I take no medication. For the longest time I was on ritalin. I had believed it helped me concentrate. Perhaps for a while it did. The dosage was increased when it was deemed necessary, and after a while, it began to have more negative effects on me, and soon it only served to put me in a mental fog the whole day. I have taken nothing since.

Haven't used any psychoactive meds, other then the recreational drugs like caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and thc.

i never took any medicine, and i probably never will.

i dont. and never will, i'll only take meds for a physical illness

In my daughter's special ed class, her aide said that she'd never met a kid in that class who wasn't on meds, except for my daughter. Now that my daughter has seizures she has to take meds.

Occasional Xanax is all anyone in my family is willing to take.

If THC doesn't count, then no.

My 2 sons with AS are not on any medication.

A paediatrician tried to put one on Zoloft when he was only 6, so I gave her the sack and found a new paediatrician.

I don't take medication. I've always had anxiety issues, especially social anxiety and emotion issues. I haven't had to deal with it for a long time because I never interacted with people. I'm really starting to believe that I can't interact with people as much as I should without some form of medication. Even though I like being a loner, but I do need interaction. However I'm kind of weary of taking medication, due to side effects. Plus I feel like I'm copping-out. (no offense to people that do take medication)

When I was under 18 my mom made me take every med in the f*****g book, now I'm 18 I don't have to put up with that s**t, the only way I would take drugs other than for recreational purposes are if someone strapped me to a chair and forced them down my mouth. They will just f**k with your body and you'll end up dying of cancer or something. Although ssri drugs I have thought of taking to make me more sociable. But I probably wouldn't though.

I find excercising in the morning very good it helps me in alot of things even inetracting is alot better since I started execrising.
