I am having a huge problem being med compliant. I hate being fat so I don't stick with meds. Then, I add trouble to the mix by being off meds and taking diet pills to lose weight - which works for a little while until I get manic.
Then, 2-3 times a year my allergies get so bad that I get steriods shots which through me into mania - but make my allergies go away.
Why can't I just accept that I won't be able to control my hunger and appetite and that I'll be overweight (probably get diabetes) and be med compliant?
Its very frustrating to me that it has to be either or. Be fat and in bad physical health, or be non-compliant and lose weight and be healthy but nuts.
All the meds that don't cause weight problems I can't take!
