You never know why someone isn't taking medicatio

Allow me to demonstrate. I was diagnosed at 27, turned 29 in February, all of the following are reasons I've been off my meds:

  • Traveling for work and changing my pickup pharmacy too often triggered a response where no pharmacy would fill me for 2 months other than the one by my house I was only near for 1 week of every 4
  • Dr dying and having a near impossible time getting s replacement because my GP refused to honor my diagnosis from "oUt oF nEtWoRk"
  • Dr constantly being 30-45 minutes late to appointments and dropping me when I complained about it
  • Insurance suddenly deciding that my meds WERENT MEDICALLY NEEDED, ACTUALLY
  • losing my job (2x)
  • lack of therapeutic care alongside medication resulting in relapse of depressive symptoms due to perceived lack of change while on ADHD meds and flushing them and having a full on meltdown and suicide attempt
  • My wife asking about the status of my prescription and the pharmacy deeming that "suspicious activity" and dropping me
  • Every pharmacy in my area bar 1 treating me like a druggie every time I tried to move my script to them. Every. Time.

My own reasons:

  • Long story about never getting diagnosis for a lung condition, leading to pretty intense heart failure
  • Following that and finally getting healthcare because of that, finally get dx'd for ADHD at 30
  • I can't take stimulants because my heart will explode and I'll die.
  • None of the other options work for me. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
