When I go off my meds, I start feeling like I'm coming down with the flu. I get light-headed, muscles get tight and hurt, I cannot focus, everything bothers me.  I only go off of my meds when my doctor won't give me a refill, or I cannot afford to pay for them. The lack of money happens far too often because the only job I could find is $10 per hour 20 hours a week, and my husband is working through a temp agency. He has a lead on a much better job, hopefully it will pan out because something needs to happen.

No one wants me to feel like this, and no one wants to deal with me when I am not medicated.

We have worked harder than a lot of people I know who have so much more than we do. And they don't see why there's a problem...
