my dad just sent me an article on the like over-prescription of psychotropic medicine and i’m gonna fucking scream, maybe at him, we’ll see
#my dad hates how much medicine i take and i Do Not think he understands that i take a lot of meds bc i have a lot of problems#also literally even my doctors are weary about how many meds i take but crucially they KEEP ME ON THEM#they check routinely for side-effects of cross-prescription#we’ve messed with my meds before#especially when i develop a new symptom of any kind#and if my doctors think a medicine is responsible they try to taper me off of them#but every time we try and do that the symptoms the medicine is treating come back in FULL SWING#we though my lack of energy was coming from my sleep medicine#so we tapered me off of it#i slept less than 4 hours a night the entire week#we thought my spacey-ness was coming from my tux medicine#and the spacey-ness went away!#my doctors are responsive to new possible side-effects as am i#for a man who seems to do nothing but undermine me in my own doctor’s appointments#which is a whole other post believe me#he seems awful concerned about how my doctors go about treating me#also like#he routinely doesn’t go to the doctor when he should and refuses to get treatment for things to the detriment of himself and others#so HE really doesn’t get to tell ME shit about my medical life#update: he said he sent it to me bc he thought i’d be interested in it#also said he wanted me to be more aware and he was like#ik you don’t trust your doctors blindly but some people aren’t as educated so that’s why i sent it to you#which makes no sense#but whatever#my dad’s just lonely and needs friends i think#then he kind of refused to engage in discussion with me about it so idk wtf is up with him
