I am on so many medications at this point I barely feel human anymore. I’m currently taking four eye drops and 8 pills a day. I barely go out anymore just because I need to keep track of when I need to take everything. One of my pills is a diuretic and it constantly leaves me dehydrated and tired. 5 out of my 8 pills are just this one drug, so i’m dangerously dehydrated all the time. It’s part of the reason i’ve been losing so much weight. I also take something to treat blood pressure and an antidepressant. I just kind of feel numb right now. I hate this feeling quite a bit. But i’m not sure if there is any better solution anymore.

What’s the prognosis though? You’re on a lot now, does it have to be that way?
I relate, I’ve been that penned in and strung out by my medications. However, I’ve also lived life without them, so I know it’s possible with my condition.
I’m trying to lose weight so I can get off my blood pressure medication and the antidepressant is hopefully temporary. I’m almost done with a strong antibiotic pill, but everything else is permanent as long as I have vision left to preserve. Diuretics are awful.
Trying to come off of stuff is awful, not in a one upmanship sort of way, they can be as awful or mine may well be less awful.
I’m the closest I’ve been in years to detox off of most of my medications. Mine are mostly psychiatric and the fight with dependency is going worse this time around. I’ll get there though, because it’s my leash to where I’m at.
I need to move house far away before I allow myself to be leashed by my condition. So goes the aspiration anyway. As always, perhaps I’m a fool. Standard disclaimer, attempts at wisdom are made in attempt to console.
